AFC MAGNOLIA AM

 Well the mud kitchen has transferred over to our classroom and today friends made cookies from playdough.  There were bakers, customers, and a waitress.  They had quite an assembly line started.  It is clear they love to pretend and eat sweets :).   

 There is a new area near our classroom  that is a mud kitchen.  We filled a sensory table full of water and watched the kitchen come alive!  There mud pies, soup, and cupcakes. We also planted our seeds that JW collected last week.   "I want it to grow today!" Today's Bouquet  Leaves are starting to fall and change colors.  Check out their collection. We are seeing a huge love for nature in Magnolia!

Happy Monday!  Our walk-in routine has many steps and these kids are ROCKING it!!!  Step 1: Get your water and put it in the wagon Step 2: Put your backpack away. This can be tricky, but we added pictures to make it easier to find their spot.  Step 3: Wash hands! First get soap, scrub, then get a paper towel. Step 4: Sign In! This is how they tell us they are here at school and we put you in the heart if you are gone. During meeting we sing, "We Wish You Well" to those not here.  This is a big routine and they do it so well as they take care of their belongings. By creating space for them to do this independently, we are growing their executive functioning skills as well as creating community.  ______________________________________________________________ Today we had a birthday! Each child has a cookie with their first letter on it. When it is their birthday, they get to put beads on their string. We will sing happy birthday as we hang it up, unless they do no...
