Dear Studio Red,
This week we worked together to create a card for Caroline. We saw you all taking time and care to draw such beautiful lines and shapes! We heard you all thinking about what Caroline might like. We heard you say:
I know that Caroline likes hearts. Charlie Nicholson
I’m gonna use pink. I’m drawing a heart. Ian
That’s the place where she is, the doctor. Thomas
I know how to draw a cat. Ian
The whole class is doing a kindness! Case
Louis, can I help you? Thomas
I’m ready to glue! Miles
Are we gonna give the whole entire card to Caroline? Charlie Nicholson
Look at my heart! Louis
I’m doing pink cuz she loves pink! Can we make seconds? Ruth
I’m making a rainbow. Jackson
Look at mine! Ian
Oh, that’s a cute one, Ian! Miles
Love, Lauri and Emily
ZOOMING INTO OUR WEEK
INDOOR EXPLORE
What happens when we draw and add water?
“Lauri, I’m making something new now. I’m doing some experimenting.” TRAVERS
“When I did three colors, it went all the way back to the white.” LUCA
“I put the pencily thingys and the markery thingys and then I put water on top and it made pink. I used black, blue, red, and green.” TRAVERS
What stories do we find in different materials, in different spaces, and with different classmates?
a story of a bunny and a story of a robot that turns into a penguin when it waddles…
How do our weavings change when they come off the looms?
NATURE WALK
We went on a hunt for y-sticks and flat rocks for our next weaving experiments!
"Look, we can draw Ys in the dirt!"
Lauri shared a book on weaving she found at the library. In it we saw photographs of how artists have created looms with sticks and rocks.
STORY WORKSHOP
“Hey guys we finished our books, look!” THOMAS
“It feels like a book.” IAN
