Sometimes being a kid is... tough. Especially when you come back from spring break. And during a week with a full moon no less! It is important to slow down and listen to our bodies and what we need. At meeting we talked about how we were feeling and how exhausting this week has been. Children noticed that it is hard to stick together when you feel warn out.  It was a unanimous decision to do what makes us feel good. What makes you feel calm? Painting, reading, building, creating patterns were part of the list. So, we did what we do best and listen to the children and create opportunities for calmness. 

Today was a special day because it was one of our friend's last days and caper day. We discussed how she wanted to celebrate her time with us and she chose to have an Art Day. She chose her favorite materials and they created lots and lots of art. 

Today we spent time catching up and talking about our spring breaks. Blue Bell Ice Cream was quite a hot topic as many had ice cream over spring break.  We continued our line study by asking "What can you build with lines?" using the our big building blocks. On these blocks some noticed there were lines on them... road lines! When you see a road, a car must follow of course.  With the wood blocks we are making tall lines and long lines. Many children wondered what lines do cars make? 

We were able to celebrate our last day before break with capers! The storms stopped just in time to play outside!   

Children were able to explore BIG lines and small lines with different materials.
