An extra look into our week

Some of our students were very interested in the unifix cube blocks this week.  There was a lot of discussion going on as the kiddos interacted with them.

"I can make a pattern just like the book Ms. Lynsey read! Orange, orange, red, red, orange, orange, red, red!"  -Aria

"I can make mine so long that it will be taller than me.  Maybe tomorrow I can lay down on the floor to see if it works."  -Katarina

"I made one small, one medium and one tall tower."  -Jasper

"I made three different patterns and then stuck them all together."  -Map

We also had some intrigued scientists who were looking at the skeleton of a snake.  They observed with their sense of sight and then recorded their observations down on paper with pictures.

"It is really white and yellow.  Do our bones look the same color?"  -Daniel

"I think our bones are white.  I see so many little bones and one long big bone."   -Liam

"I think our back looks like the snake.  After we draw this, can someone feel the bones in my back?"  -Rania

"I wonder if there are too many bones to count.  I am going to try though!"  

-Ella

We also had some more construction and building going on--this time it was less concrete than the legos and magnatiles--the students were using wood pieces!  An imaginative storyline came along with the building.

"I made a castle with a bridge!  A train could go on it!"  -Dylan

"Will the train go near our princess castle? It is really strong."  -Malia and 

Si-Yoon

We also had some dress up.  I overhead the students planning their meal as a family.

"I'm the dad and I'm heading to work."  -Shayne

"I am going to take the babies to the party."  -Rania
