It was cold today....

Here at the Inside Outside School, we are forced to sit outside in the freezing cold weather. One of our students, Emily Cauley, actually froze her nose until it was purple today. She had to get her nose cut off, but she got a new one at the nose store.
And there was much rejoicing.
Thank you,
I know you're probably doubled over with laughter right now, but if you can, please send Emily and her new nose your good thoughts.

Dirk liked the Yin Yang book of Opposites so much he went home and made another one.  Go get 'em!

Simile Sam, (seriously)  reports on the play.  Sam and Vivian never miss a simile during read aloud.  We are starting on personification.  I'll keep you posted on their progress with personification.

Henry is learning about hurricanes in his independent study project.  Wonder if we could call him Hurricane Henry?  It has a nice ring to it.

  1. Gus LOVES his independend study project....LOVES IT!  He is studying WWII fighter planes.  Notice those lower case letters?

Vivian shares with us about her apothecary class.  While she was there, we were making peach cobbler.  It is so great to have two kitchens, and hard to say which building smells better on Thursdays.

Today we  planted broccoli, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, and carrots.  This is Cha Cha's report.  We  also read Tops and Bottoms.  Which would you choose out of today's gardening?

Creek

10/25/2011

Before school started, I imagined the children would sit with their journal during nature literacy time and sketch and write poetry and do the things I would do if I had free time outdoors in the riparian forest.  Well, turns out there is a whole imaginary play thing that happens.  The roles change daily, yesterday it was princes and princesses being put in time out by the king, and today skeletons chained to a wall.  As I sat above the creek I watched the drama unfold, trying to be a little invisible, and remembering a few weeks back when the players were sending large shipments of something or another to China, and making large batches of chocolate milk (mud).  The huge trees, the swirling waters of the creek, the sticks that magically transform to anything they want them to be are stage and props for the Mystery Game, or whatever they decide to call it from day to day.  As we walk back to the gate, leaving the forest behind, we pick up our fairy houses to take back to the workshop where we made furniture today, so it can be glued down, before getting down to chores.  There are four eggs from the chickens today to chart on the egg graph.  The new duck, Donald or Daisy, still hasn't gifted us with an egg.

    Deborah: I believe children need to have more time in the great outdoors and no time bubbling in answer sheets to prepare for standardized tests.
