AFC MAGNOLIA AM

 We asked children, "What can you build that makes you happy?" With legos children created wonderful things that made them happy. As they were building, they were showing each other their work and felt proud of it! This was amazing to see as children are often asking the adults to check their work out.  BM - A tall, tall tower LC - A lion HL - A whole steam engine RB - A robot puppy QL - Lots and lots of trucks LH - A Lion SS - An airplane

 

We are so excited for a friend to be feeling better and returning back to school this week! The children have been missing this friend and we are creating some works of art for his return :) 

Children explored emotions coming back from a long break through various languages.  Mark-making holds the possibility of creation.  Gak holds the possibility strategy. Small world holds the possibility of storytelling.  Loose parts hold the possibility of imagination.

As we are entering coat season, we are empowering children with coat independence. We are showing them how to pull the sleeves inside-out and putting their coats on. The trick we use is called: flip flop over the top!  Step 1: all of the children go to the hallway to get their coats on.  Step 2: children stand at the hood of their coat and bend over.  Step 3: they flip the coat over and slide their arms down.  Some children are working hard turning their sleeves inside out.  Putting on our coats and accessories is NOT easy, but we keep on trying! We are excited to partner with our wonderful families on this mission!
