EBs Start Today!

The final round of exploration block classes for the 2017-2018 school started today. Children were very excited to go to one of four exciting choices: Val's "A Line Can Be..." drawing class, Shan's Game Board class, Grace's Storytelling with Puppets, or my Wild about Jane Goodall. There was something for everyone - art, gaming, science, language arts, nature, and more.

There are four more sessions - Monday and Thursday of next week, and then Monday and Thursday of the following week.

Wild about Jane scientists decorate their journals and binoculars

Just like Jane, Ian quietly observes, and makes careful observations

Like Jane, scientists observe a wild creature, our own tortoise in the  Middle School Commons
Val's line artists explore lines outside after doing some work with lines inside!

Here's some of their fine work - oh, what a line can be!
Shan's group started with board games that have already been invented ...

and then modified them !
Here, some puppeteers are working with black paper to make beautiful shadow puppets - I can't wait to hear the stories they will tell!
