Today, we visited Gwen in the library. She read us the story of Annie and the Wild Animals by Jan Brett, a story of a girl who makes the acquaintance of several animals from the woods while searching for her cat friend.
We then were shown where animal books live in our AFS Lower School library, which was very exciting because we actually were encouraged to peruse the library shelves! In fact, Gwen let the Owls pick out animal books to check out and bring back to our classroom! Choices included various cats (both large and small), sharks and dogs.
We enjoyed being placed into boxes today...ahh the joys of early childhood...
Friends enjoyed using boxes from a grill in multitudes of different ways, and incorporated them into play with other props. At various points throughout the morning, the boxes were ships (both regular ships and pirate vessels, of course), houses, hideouts, platforms of dance, workrooms, vehicles that traveled alongside giant eagles, and simply cozy places for friends to meet, snuggle, and enjoy each others' company.
