Quote of the week
Having imagination without learning is like having wings without feet
~Joseph Joubert
This week we completed our first round on New Moon Intentions. This is
how we bring our learning plans to life, by setting intentions to
complete this month. Our two groups, the Blue Jays and the Free Tailed
Bats each completed group new moon intentions which we are very excited
to bring to life this month. Then each child created their own. Some
include, writing a play, creating a movie script, and practicing reading
and writing.
Morning movement included yoga, capoeira, and rhythm gym.
In
our enrichment classes the children continued working on their
children's books and other creative writing stories. In the Story of the
Universe we leanred about the lithosphere, atmosphere, and atmosphere.
In Jedi training the children explored their subtle energies and bodies
by walking around blindfolded slowly without bumping into eachother.
Caroline
leaves next Thursday for India! The children prepared letters and
pictures for the chilren at the school. We also finished the details on
our beautiful murals, one of which will go to the children in India.
All
week, youth have been preparing for the Halloween Carnival. The kids
worked on finalizing plans, built cardboard creations and games for the
carnival, and created prizes for the games. Next Thursday, we will go on
a fieldtrip to the new school space to prepare for the carnival that
will be from 5-8 that evening.
On Tuesday, a parent came and led the
children in constructing fairy houses in the gardens. The children
created magical places complete with many details, one complete with a
hat rack!
The week was very busy as we took action on our intentions, adopting the theme: Dream, Plan, Do.
