Book: Good News Bad News
Snack: Graham Crackers, Pretzel Goldfish, and Apple Squeezes
This past Friday, two children were playing fairies in the outdoor classroom. They continued this theme in blocks and constructed homes that reminded them of fairy houses. On Monday, additional children joined the play and it became a fairy land. They incorporated their super hero characters from dramatic play (on small blocks) and drew wings to transform them for fairy land. A story developed yesterday as the children played in the block area. Today children discussed what is happening in blocks.
Suzette: We're making a fairy house and we drew things on our people.
Eloise: We drew wings because we were pretending we were fairies.
Lily: We're pretending it's a story called Candy.
Mia: We're building many houses.
Carly: We are making pictures with special markers you can't wipe off.
Lucy: We live in Cotton Candy World.

Camera Katie worked with Sigrid, Lucy, and Suzette to bring their story to life on the SmartBoard today. They selected images for their story, used actual images from the block area, and transformed their pictures from the block area for their movie.
Today, Harlow and Mia continued to add more details to Fairy Land. They connected each fairy house with steps, so the fairies could walk to each house. They also created a disco ball for dance parties in one of the fairy's houses.
