Learning Lab Exploration
Our school garden is flourishing. We will begin sending home basil and lettuce next week and hopefully, we will have tomatoes soon!
We wrapped up October's music appreciation sketching while listening to calming folk music and bluegrass. We really enjoyed this month's music.
The Wild Rumpus truly brought out the imaginations of our students. Students created a whole tale of how the Wild Things must have visited our playscape on Tuesday evening leaving clues and evidence of mischief-making. Young wild things made wild thing eyeball soup, explored with wild things sensory materials, rumpused in the field with games, and of course, the hit of the day The Wild Rumpus Parade where wild things roared their terrible roars, showed their terrible claws, gnashed their terrible teeth, and rolled their terrible eyes!
We are looking forward to getting deeper into pumpkin science next week, beginning our gratitude projects, and discovering Frida Kahlo and Salvador Dali in art Appreciation.
Reminder: We want your pumpkins!, we will take your old, carved, pumpkins instead of throwing them out. We need them on Tuesday please!
