At Mrs. Hennessy's table we finished working on our March calendars. We glued down our handprint leprechaun that we made on Wednesday, then added a green hat and a pot of gold with March's blessing. We've become so independent on completing these projects! We also made some patterns and designs with our lacing disks before changing centers.
At our rug center we continued playing with our big builders and our kitchen. We had several "dramas" playing out at the rug center today. We had our servers bringing coffee over to the restaurant; the guard with his green super-power gloves making sure no one got in trouble or knocked the building over; and our team-workers who discovered that if they pre-fabricated a piece of building and then stuck it on the top, they could make the building taller! (One of the rules is that you can't stand on chairs, crates, etc. to build, so the children had been constrained as to how tall they could make their towers. Today they realized that if they put several pieces together and then added them to the top, they could get their towers taller than they could by stacking one at a time on the top. Their ingenuity is amazing!)
Because of the weather we didn't get to go to the playground today. We made up for it by having a special snack (popcorn!) and by getting out the parachute and playing all kinds of games with it. Our favorite was when we hid underneath it like turtles!
