Our Recipe Book

At the end of the week I saw that our A-Z Recipe Book had been turned to the Owl Cracker page.

Instead of proceeding through to the next letter of the alphabet, which would have been 'f' for fruit salad, I told the boy who had been (apparently) talking about this page to his friends, that we'd make the owl cookies the following week.

The children were excited to make them and we can make fruit salad some other time.

Journals & Writing

We like to write about what interests us.  It's the same for children.  Journal writing time is an invitation for the children to draw something of interest to them.  They tell me something about their pictures and I write it on the page.  They see how writing happens by starting with an idea then seeing it get written down.

Paper Tray / Spatial Exploration

The paper trays were moved from the top of the shelf to the table so that some of the children could make a trap using the yarn. One of the children experimented with the paper trays. He pushed them back to discover that they can be formed into steps or they can be stacked on top of one another. Spatial exploration.

Yarn Trap

The yarn was used to make a trap.  It was tied to a picture frame and a basket. Each was positioned on shelves across from one another.  The children had to go "under" the trap to get to the carpet for whole class time. There was a lot of sharing of ideas, problem solving, and use of the positional language "over" and "under" and "around".
