Today was full of lots of focused and collaborative energy! We plastered our dinosaur bones with Elsa, designed more end of the year performance costumes with Holly, built magnatile homes with Dominique, and created tunnels and rescue boats using our fort magic materials with Dawn. We also had a fancy tea party, played restaurant, put together puzzles, went for a rainy walk, and invented some new songs. Our yummy snack was banana muffins, watermelon, and orange slices. Below you will find some of the Vermont Early Learning Standards that were highlighted in our play today. And, as always, enjoy these photos from today's escapades!
