During Wonder Time, students explored various activities using many materials. Ask your child what they tried today: bouldering, free play in Thunder Dome, Lego, Tapagami (Tape & Origami), maps, math materials, loose parts, Zentangles, newspaper, drawing, construction & building, and outdoor exploration.
Vivo group 'played' at the bouldering wall this morning. Bouldering made our fingers, arms, and legs stronger.
We 'played' one game that one student created and this game was called 'Fish, Fish, Chomp'. On Monday, we will play a game that another student created called 'Shark and Fish Tag'.
