Today we had a perfect little picnic! Since our letter for the day was ‘P’, we went to the Park and had a Picnic on this Perfect day. Jerome reminded the class as we settled in that we shouldn’t litter. Paolo pointed out that there was a trash can at the park, so we could keep the park clean and pick up after ourselves. Gia and Niki took the opportunity to finish their snack quickly and practice their cartwheels, which seemed like a trade off they were happy with. Tove was thrilled that, during the picnic, she saw a worm, a roly-poly, and a few ants; what a successful nature exploration.
The rest of our day was taken up with some great poems and art explorations. Our trip to the bank was great, especially when Timo noticed that some of his pennies looked different; they were actually super old wheat pennies from 1930, which was pretty neat. At the bank, Sokrates talked about what was holding down the pen, while Bisola thought about how we should wait in line. We also really enjoyed making a mural for the first time, with everyone experimenting with different brushes and rollers. It was a great day for learning!
