Thursday August 16 2012

Menu
B~ rice krispies cereal, cinnamon raisin english muffins with butter, bananas and milk
L~ Picnic on the Porch, peanut butter and strawberry fruit spread (pb&j), fresh plums, milk
S~ Phaedra and Lelia's fresh picked peaches- thank you!, animal crackers, filtered water

Today we spent less time outdoors because the mosquitoes have been ferocious even with bug spray applied

Charli with the knobbed cylinder block

Addison has the knob-less cylinders- same shapes and sized but these are "loose parts"

Brendan, there are 4 sets of knobbed cylinders. Each has different size sequencing and another set of 4 corresponding colored knob-less cylinders:  yellow, red, blue and green

The work mats (aka our yoga mats) set up a concrete, visual boundary for their  play. They can choose to work alone or have someone watch or even join them- but it is their choice, it is their work space.

Addison made a tower



At a couple of points they switched materials by trading spaces :-)

All four boxes of the colored knob-less cylinders were brought out

They ended up using 3 of the sets

Watercolors


Phaedra and Lelia shared their dress-ups with us today!



Ballerina Charli



Brendan working- they were building another doghouse from the table

Mega blocks that Addison gave to us


Dance Recital



Brendan would rather build with magnatiles and heads out





Everyone worked together to build this "garage" Addison thought of using the magntiles as the floor




Brendan scaled the easel



Some water play as lunch is prepared


Our picnic on the porch
