News OF The Day 10/17/2011

This morning we...
- walked to the Flynn Theater to see "Sylvester and the Magic Pebble." Actually we ran most of the way. A great amount of energy from this group! We LOVED the funny dancing squirrels who, of course, were not part of the book.
- spent a WONDERFULLY fun morning on Church Street. We went to Uncommon Grounds (decided by my 4 hours of sleep and the children being hungry), read books at The Crow, and had a performance on a bike rack. We spent a couple magical hour
s downtown which made me want to move our school to Church St! On the way home the children made up their own game complete with new names and family structure.
Back at school we...
- built a spaceship out of our new hollow blocks and went on a journey.
- had Writing Workshop. We wrote about what we would wish for if we had out own magic pebble.
