Hello, everyone.

Here’s what we’ve been doing this week!

The water table has turned into that sunny beach getaway we mentioned. Kids have noticed the sand has gone back to feeling moist or dry in most areas. We may experiment with adding a bit of water to observe that transformation again:

We’ve added cardboard tubes to the cars in our table. Kids have helped tape them together to experiment with longer routes! We’ve also incorporated various widths of clear plastic tubes as well.

After creating our own designs with circles and glue sticks last week, we’ve brought in other shapes to manipulate and create designs in other ways. These activities have been a way to introduce the concept of making a collage or mosaic, and have practice with such shapes to get ready to work on our class project for the Gala.

Kids have been interested in the board game Hoot Owl Hoot we recently added to our game shelf.

Several weeks ago, kids were really interested and excited to form letters with their bodies based on a book that shows how to do it. This week, a few kids have felt re-inspired to try making letters together:

And, at group time, we’ve been changing up our greeting a bit. Kids have noticed when it doesn’t say “HI JK” or “HELLO JK.” Last week, we noticed “HOLA JK” (in Spanish) and this week, “BONJOUR JK” (in French).

Thanks for catching a glimpse,
