Some Yarn Fun!

Ash class had been doing lots of weaving and fingerknitting. See what we have made! It is a great activity for so many things, such as fine motor development and patterning. But most of all, we find it very creative and calming. The children are always amazed with their creations in the end!

                      Look, it's a bag..... by sewing 2 weavings together and then fingerknitting the strap!

a little bit of Spring

We were lucky to have Setareh, Pendaar's mom to come in and share with us the traditions of the Persian New Year, Nowruz. the haftseen table is decorated with items that begin with the letter sin (s) in Persian, and each item is a symbol of spring and renewal. 

Scientist in the School: Simple Machines

Ash class had so much fun during our Scientists in the Schools workshop. We learned all about Simple Machines! We learned about Wedges and Edges, Wheels and Axles, Levers, Gears and Inclined Planes - all using hands on activities led by Kathy and our expert volunteers!
