Today there are four major things to discuss that relate to community-building in Room 4.
1) One of the children brought in some books from home today. The books are in Spanish and English. We displayed the books and children looked through them this morning. Here’s a photo of how we displayed the books.
2) We also explored our community garden outdoors today. The children heard a song and book about worms today. The children then looked for worms in the garden. We were going to start planting, but the children are still actively and eagerly involved in exploring the soil. We will continue to work with the soil and will begin planting once that becomes less interesting to the children. To see what the children said and did in the garden with the worms, please check out this album and read through the photo descriptions:

3) Remember how the children washed palm tree pieces and collected items on a walking field trip last week? Well, today the children started to glue the items onto the palm tree piece. Here’s the previous album about the natural items and washing palm tree pieces:
Here’s a photo of them adding the natural materials to the palm tree piece (today):
Creating group artwork can create a sense of community among the children.
4) Lastly, today the CDC announced our Open House! Here’s the flyer for that event (click on the link below). This is a way to come together as a whole school community. We can’t wait to see you all there!
