With Tamara away for the next three days at the conference for the National Association of the Education of Young Children, we get to play with Kate! Kate is wonderful, and it is a joy to have her in the Owl classroom.
The Owls were continuing the exploration of building, and in the dramatic play area this morning, two groups of friends built different flying contraptions out of platform blocks: an airplane and a space ship.
It was soon realized that these two groups could combine their separate creations to build one huge space airplane! Our builders scrapped the parts from their old ships and started fresh, catching the interest of new perspective flyers. Before we knew it, the space airplane became very elaborate, complete with pilot seats, magic wands, maps to help navigate, and fire blowers to help propel the ship forward. Many of the Owls took a seat in the ship as we blasted off into space. We noticed stars, moons, suns, meteors, and a pair of very invasive dragons.
Also, in case you didn't realize...it snowed today! The snowfall began while we were enjoying our outside time on the playground, so friends enjoyed running around and trying to catch snowflakes on their tongue. A few conversations occurred on what time of year it is when it snows (namely, just because it's snowing doesn't mean that it is Christmas or Hanukkah time).
