"It's a Blue Bird!"

 I cannot believe it's been almost a week since we have seen all of these kids! It was so good to get back into the groove of things with them. F became particularly interested in one activity where the kids were trying to recreate some of the Missouri Songbirds.




F did his best to create a male Bluebird! 

He worked hard as his little fingers picked the perfect blue feathers. 
"It's blue! Two eyes! He flies! Tweet tweet!"

F continued to manipulate the different loose parts to finalize a product he was happy with. 
"Glue please!"

F was so impressed with his own creation he wanted to make it permanent. We collected the necessary items and F got to work. 



This process took a little more time as there was now some glue involved. He was very precise in his placement. 

O noticed all of the beautiful colors and decided she wanted to create "a rainbow bird!"



We weren't sure this mini study of birds would continue on or not, but the kids have really enjoyed creating bird houses, bird feeders, and now creating their own birds. Can't wait to see what they come up with next!

Digital World

This afternoon the kids settled into different activities after arrival. Some kids found themselves making a whole city with painter's tape roads, some dove into some books to get a good read in, and others tried making all kinds of creations out of legos. It isn't out of the ordinary for the kids to ask if we can play "office."  This pretend play cracks us all up because they are clearly imitating many of the same mannerisms they have seen either at home or at school. They pile stacks of papers next to them, lay out a bunch of markers, and start "typing" away on the out of commission computers we have. They talk about all the emails and notes they have to send. They make phone calls to each other and write copious amount of letters to send in the mail. Hilarious!  Today, I wanted to test out their letter identification as well as their typing skills they have been showing off these last few months. Plus they ask me just about every other day if they can typ...

Creek Time

  Happy Tuesday! We spent our entire afternoon out at Larson Park! It was definitely a hot one so when the kids heard we were going to get to play in the creek, they screamed in excitement. Not everyone wanted to stomp around in the shallow water and that was a-okay. Such a fun afternoon splashing around, exploring, and doing a great job sticking together as a class!
