Sky Class' First Time in the Studio... and Much More!


Our first time in the Studio happened this week! In the coming weeks, the Studio will be a consistent part of our routine. It's the place where children explore through languages like paint, drama, clay, wire as well as water.



Our blocks adventure continues! We've met many rectangular and triangular blocks and worked together to build strong and beautiful structures that stand safely.

We also learned to carry only two blocks at a time.


If you want a strong structure, then you should check to make sure there are no gaps. 





This is our robot.



Putting them away is also important. We learned how to stack and sail them to the "docker" who safely puts each block back into its place.


As we get to know each other better, we are showing 
ways we care and are interested in our friends. 

We practiced using kinds words, too, 

and looking for the smile it gives our friends.








In art, we explored ways to mold clay into different shapes and also how to flatten it. 




We were also inspired this week in literature so we...

wrote the letters of our friends' names,



made books,



and did collaborative storytelling!



Guess what? Kayla and Zac generously brought us treats for their birthdays!




As we work on the last few panels of our Creation Collage, we think about how we learned to make some representational and abstract designs with paper and glue. We practiced gluing, rolling, tearing, and planning our designs.

Let there be moon...


and stars...


Let there be birds...


and fish


Let there be animals


and people



Stay tuned to see our final collage all put together...
