Thee was another giant box to bring in today from Tamara's car, and teamwork was the only way to do it (
What's going to work? TEAMWORK!)
When we got it into the classroom, we found Pat had already started building with the big box.
Once we had the second box in the room, we had to figure out how to make it look like a house.
Ella ran to the table, and started to construct her ideas out of paper. "It needs a triangle roof!" she explained.
Wills, Caimin, Gabby and Madigan all joined her in working with paper to brainstorm ideas.
Once we knew what shapes we wanted, we had to figure out how to attach the boxes. Tamara introduced the idea of hot glue, cautioning about how to use it, and off we went!
Once the house had a partial roof, the Turtles were eager to play in it!
The Turtles had talked about making a brick house, and so we decided to use paper to make the bricks and glue sticks for the mortar. They decided that a brick roof was a good idea, too. We still have lots of work to do, but we are off to a great start!
At Morning Meeting, the Little Frogs joined us. First they showed us how they get their bodies ready for their Moment of Silence, and we shared a very very peaceful moment together. Then, they introduced a new tool that they are letting us borrow: a tripod and video camera! They showed us how they worked, and then invited us to video tape some stories. We thought that maybe we will do some puppet shows! We will get to work on this on Monday!
Outside looked like this:

| face painting |

| being friend-ish and pushing each other on the swings |
