Ms. Heather noticed that a few children in the Theatre were playing mail man, so in the spirit of emergent curriculum we decided to enhance their play. We've been storing an old mailbox in the office waiting for the perfect time to put it out...and we found it!
After the children showed interest in writing letters, we supplied them with envelopes and stamps and addressed their envelopes to wherever they wanted to send them.
(Most of them chose their house.)
Since we happen to have a mailbox right outside the school, we went one step further and actually mailed the letters. The children speculated about the amount of time it would take. Tarik said, "30 days."
Since it was such a beautiful day, Ms. Kym decided to keep the kids out for a bit of extra fun on the hills outside.
Today Sylvan Learning came to visit the Mini Gym and Street groups to teach them about robots. The children were each given a lego kit and a computer and through instruction and inputting code, the children were able to bring their lego robots to life!
The children were so excited to share their stories of how they made their robots wave and alligators chomp.
Very cool!
