Ms. Murray's Classes
Hi Folks, Thank you for meeting with me today for conferences to celebrate your children’s growth! Announcements:
What a week! In Vermont, we never know what weather we will have, but the kids were ready for anything. In the beginning of the week we were in puddles at the rock garden and the woods, and by the end we were bundled back up in our gear. On Monday, we had an absolute blast playing with colored spaghetti. I added tools for scooping and twirling, and scissors for cutting. They enjoyed “making dinner” and serving it up. On Tuesday (and Thursday by Fergus’ request - Thanks Fergus!) we played with oobleck. It was great to watch them form the oobleck into balls and then watch it “melt” through their fingers. In the coming weeks, I will do spaghetti with the TTh class and oobleck with the MW class. In both classes, we used the Handwriting without Tears wooden pieces to make letters (pictured below). We did a song from the program called “Tap, Tap, Tap” and then practiced making some letters. The wooden pieces are called: Big line, little line, big curve, and little curve. They all had fun making letters they knew! This week, both classes flexed their STEM skills by doing a bridge building challenge. The kiddos had a variety of objects to use to make the bridge for the animals to get across. They used lego, cups, popsicle sticks, small blocks, and long wooden boards. Ms. Aly, our lovely Librarian, stopped down with a book called Crossings: Extraordinary Structures for Extraordinary Animals by Katy S. Duffield. Wow! What a phenomenal book that is. It showed different animals all over the world, and the citizen scientists who helped build structures for the animals to safely pass. Have a great weekend with your kids! Deanna
