AFC MAGNOLIA AM

As our ocean inquiry has continued, we have learned so much about ocean creatures and their habitat. Coral and seaweed are the plants and trees of the ocean. So we offered children, "How can you build coral?" and "Who lives in the deep, deep sea?"

We had a special visit from the Webster Groves Jazz Band! Children were so excited and really enjoyed the music. They had many instruments: bass, trumpet, trombone, keyboard, and drums.  We talked about what it means to be in the audience and how we show them that we like it. Clapping and tiny woos echoed throughout the gym! 

Today we got ready to plant!  First: We got our old broken sensory table and rolled it back to Magnolia.  Second: We made the circle marks so Mrs. Erin knew where to drill.  Third: Mrs. Erin showed us the different parts of the drill.  Fourth: Mrs. Erin drilled holes so we have some drainage. Then Mrs. Erin took the bit out and everyone got a chance to use the drill. 

Today we brought children outside to explore plants in a new way. We picked some weeds, added water, and some rose petals. Plus some plates, bowls, spoons, and trays. 

Children were able to use inspiration from our walk earlier this week to create beautiful spring art!
