Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your time and talents with our classroom. Happy children, buddies, and all of you helped to make this a cozy and caring Harvest Feast.
Until Next Time,

Baking, Deliveries, and Enemy Pie (?!!)

There were a lot of pictures to post this week! Our art projects included painting with feathers, stamping farm animals, and painting with a "roller" painter. The children helped to bake the bread for the Harvest Feast, and discovered how eggs get smushed into batter, and how dry ingredients and wet ingredients get mixed together. It wasn't easy! We have new "unit" blocks in our classroom which have generated a lot of interest. The difficulty seems to lie in how to communicate your own idea to a whole group of friends with a whole lot of blocks. We're working on it, and have even tried a drawing board, which children can add their own ideas to. We wrote a "legend" or made up story together by passing around a story stone, and celebrated a "fire circle" with candles, sharing peace words with each other and chanting a chant. We delivered the bowls that we had made together to the art room for use in the Empty Bowls event.
Finally, a mom came in to share a favorite book, Enemy Pie, and we shared a delicious pie that we all made together!!!
The children shared a few wonderful sentiments with us this week, including "I didn't know prek4 could be so fun!!" and "I wish this day would never end!"
Until Next Time,
Michele
