AFC MAGNOLIA AM

We made clean mud! We frolicked with the Pink Room, the Purple Room and the Aqua Room! The kids said, "it's so squishy!" We look awesome in our cute t-shirts! Thanks PTO!!!!

Thanks so much to Waylon's dad, Jim, for reading us some wonderful books!

We continued working on our house. We put on the roof. We added windows. Then we tried it out!

We found some more cardboard. The kids set it up like a roof and then decided that we should make it our roof for our house! But it's needed to be painted! After much discussion we decided to use black, brown and green paint. We looked at maps of the World, of the United States and of Missouri! We used the pictures of our houses to build our own houses with blocks and found objects! We continued drawing our houses.

Last week we started showing each other our houses and the kids decided to draw their houses. We put the pictures of their homes on the light table and the kids started tracing them. We continued drawing our houses this week as well. We put a big empty box in our classroom to see what the kids would do with it. It immediately became a house! The kids started drawing windows on it and then decided to paint their house! We talked about adding a roof and door so we'll see how it progresses through the week!

We mapped our houses today on Google earth. The kids loved seeing who they lived by. We also put some houses in the block area to build from. They are loving seeing their homes at school!

We asked the children what they wanted to do with the photos of their homes. Some want to put them in blocks to construct their house. Others wanted to draw their house. Today some children drew their house on the light table by tracing. It was a lot of fun!  Be sure to email us a picture of your home if haven't done so yet.   The kids are really interested in seeing the homes. 

We made our grilled cheese sandwiches and sweet potato chips today!  Almost everyone helped in the kitchen. Other friends played outside in this gorgeous weather. We also had our mystery reader visit!  Thanks to Ben H.'s dad for the great reading time!

We had book buddies today. The 4th graders met us at the center and then we got to walk over to their school for reading time. It was so much fun visiting Bristol. 

Thank you to Valerie's Mimi, Pat, for reading us some wonderful books!
