Caper Collaboration

It's Thursday and that means we caper! Pine joined up with Magnolia and & Dogwood to play and see what kinds of invitations were presented in their classes.

Some Pine friends visited Dogwood where they were working on a collaborative piece we started almost a month ago! The paint is officially dry so we looked around for different small pieces we could add to the mosaic-like painted canvas.

Both J & L chose materials very carefully on where to add them to the large collaborative piece. They used tacky glue to fix small pieces of shell, tile, and rock on the different colors.

"I'm putting purple on the purple because they are the same. I like how small they are."

"Look, I am making the purple on here. There are so many to put on!"

The Pine kids love to get the opportunity to collaborate with other classes and see their friends doing different kinds of activities than we may do. Another great week at Ambrose!

Day 2 Pine Room Fun!

"Well, I have brown skin and so does my mom and my brother. My dad has white skin!" "My mom and I are white, and my dad and sister are really tan!" "My family all has brown skin like me. My mom is a little different brown though. My baby sisters look like me!" We got out the skin tone colored crayons and the kids carefully chose the colors they needed to represent their families. "I need the tan ones because I am kind of tan and so is my mom. My dad and sister are darker than us so I need to use like a darker brown. I need the black too because they have dark hair. I have brown hair and my mom has like brownish hair but it's also kind of yellow." S worked on her family portrait as well. She, too, noted that she needed different colored cra...
