Weekend News
The weekend news is one way to help the Cardinals comprehend and express the difference between something that happened today and yesterday (the present and the past). Weekend News helps to foster friends' recall memory and storytelling. We are not looking for friends to give elaborate dictation now. However, it is welcome if friends choose to do so. We are looking for friends to say something that is not presently happening in the classroom. As the year continues, we will encourage friends to elaborate by giving more details. You can expect to see weekend news each Monday.

In art class, the Cardinals worked on making a collage. Amanda told us that collage is a French word for glue. Using our oil pastel drawings from last week, friends added different colors, sizes, and shapes of pieces of paper to create their collages. Amanda showed us how to carefully use the glue stick to paste the pieces of paper on, and as to be sure to not twist it too high so the stick doesn't break. After a brief demo, the Cardinals were called to their designated spots at the tables to start creating their collages. This allows friends to see art as a process, as well as to practice patience, creativity, and design.
On Friday, the Cardinals took a walk to upper school. We visited Vivian's mom's office and then Thea's mom and dad's. In Erin's, Thea's mom's classroom, the Cardinals sat in big chairs and drew on the big chalkboard. The big kids were very excited to see us and asked us to come back. What fun friends had!!
Have a wonderful evening!
