AFC MAGNOLIA AM

What a winter break send off. We ended this year with a PJ party, complete with s'mores and a little fun in the snow. Thank you for a wonderful first half of the  year. Enjoy your break, hopefully you are able to relax with family and friends! See you next year. 

The 4th grade Bristol Bravos performed a concert for the whole school this morning.  They were fantastic and our class was a great audience.  It was even more special that Leela's mom is one of the 4th grade teachers.  Check out the videos below!

During meeting we had some surprise visitors come and play some festive music.  Ms Katie, Mr James, and little James (Ms Katie's son) perform a small concert.  The children were so excited.  The first time they played children were rocking to the beat.  That's when we got an idea!  We could be part of the concert too by playing percussion using our rhythm sticks.  It was so much fun! M really likes to create shapes using the geoboards.   What would happen if you could do whatever you wanted with your favorite shapes?  Triangle,square, circle and rectangle art! We used all of our shaving cream up so today we were flexible and played without it.

The worms have been a peak interest with friends.  In order to care for our worms, we need to feed them.  They really enjoy cantaloupe rinds.  Friends chopped pieces up for the worm to eat.  When the lid lifted, squeals of excitement were heard.  Friends began asking to hold the worms, feed the worms, and snuggle with the worms.  Every living thing needs to feel cared for.  So much of our morning was spent caring for the worms. A worm is snuggled up with a cantaloupe blanket.  S:  It's just so gorgeous! We have a lot of poop talk with worms since that is how we get dirt.  :)  Some friends don't like holding the worms but enjoy them from afar.  Today many children were brave and touched worms for the first time. Sensory table fun We added lights under the containers today.
