Enjoy!

The structures project is still underway in Room 4.  The children are now starting to think about buildings in a city, town, or neighborhood.  To learn more about the beginning of this phase of the project, please check out this blog post about Roberto the Insect Architect.

So that the children can learn more about the structures and places in their neighborhood in a hands-on and real-life way, we are asking families to help their children complete a “Passport” of sorts over the break.  In the passport, children will get to check off the places they have visited or seen during break.  They can also add drawings, photos, and descriptions of these places.  Here’s our passport booklet:

Room 4 Passport Project

We cannot wait to see what the children and families do with the passport!  We hope they add additional pages, too.  We are on break from December 16th through January 13th.

In addition to “Bring Your Own Breakfast” week, we will have the following activities throughout the week:
