Crosswalk

How might we use our crosswalk to connect two spaces?

 
  


                                                         They still love that sensory input!
While walks and the forest had been put on hold, we had to pause our crosswalk study, which led to trying to figure out how we could transform our world for the better.  Without a crosswalk. This has lead to the discovery of the importance of plants and trees and insects. This week as you know, we started reading Waiting for Wings, which is a story about the life cycle of a butterfly. 
We then decided to try and draw butterflies....
 

 
The tweezers and worms are us being responsive to the LARGE BIRD that was on our fence yesterday.

Large Bird

Today the Acorns were surprised to see a large bird outside our window. We got out the binoculars for a closer look and tried to determine if it was a hawk. Eventually the large bird flew away and we prepared for capers. Acorns continue to explore colors and made pink water for the sensory table. Acorns constructed silly creations with orange playdough and drew with many different colors of pens.

Caper Thursday

 Acorns capered with nearby classrooms this morning. In the Acorn Room, we continued exploring the color orange. We poured orange water into the sensory table, made creations with orange play dough and colored with crayons. We also looked for orange in the magic sand.

Secret Alley

 Now that we have been able to take walks again, after many days of practicing, we walked to Downtown WG!  As we were walking, we decided to take the Acorns to secret spots.  We walked through the pedestrian alley, and then we had snack at a secret bridge. While we were sitting and eating snack, the garage door opened underneath us..... then a car drove under us.
