Today, the Owls began to create our personalized mailboxes to go along with our letter writing study! Thank you to everyone (including Middle School!) for donating shoe boxes to us, because we put them to very good use this morning. The boxes were given a layer of primer paint, and everyone was encouraged to be as expressive as they wanted in their decorating. It was interesting to see some friends choose to use only one or two colors for their box, and some friends did not hesitate to apply (and reapply, and reapply...) all the paints available. It was also interesting to see the level of care and concentration given to the project; some friends worked incredibly meticulously, some friends enjoyed the ability to mix and spread freely on their surface. We will be continuing to customize the mailboxes over the next few days.
There was also a large game of fire pets happening today. In case you aren't in the know about fire pets, I'll fill you in: you put on a firefighter's hat, get on all fours, and process to bark and/or meow at will. While this type of game is commonplace in the Owl room, the level of inclusion and cooperation taking place today was very noteworthy.
