Our Classroom

I'm a firm believer that the world is our classroom, but here is our main space that is confined by walls:

It has been awhile since I took photos of our main play/classroom.
I figured that since I spent the better part of the weekend reorganizing it to fit the new chalkboard writing desk/center that we upcycled from a crib, now would be a great time to take and post some photos.

Amy,
This space is bursting with interesting, amazing looking activities. I noticed that the lego table is put to good use, and several familiar, good toys all children enjoy.

Santa's Dead

"LOOK! It's Santa!" I exclaimed in my best impression of elf as I noticed a child putting on a Santa suit. "I'm not SANTA! I'm -------" "Oh, I thought you were Santa." "No, Santa's dead. I guess I have to deliver the presents now" (with a deep sigh) "Santa's dead?? What happened?" "Yeah, Santa's dead. It's a long story" and.. just like that he skipped off to play.  Clearly the story was too long to tell, and he had other things that were more important to do than to share it with me.  Many programs are looking at the calendar and providing materials and lesson plans revolving around spring and Easter. We tend not to look too closely at the calendar and instead follow the lead of the children. We have many holiday related materials available to the children, but they are available year round. On any given day of the year you will most likely find a child dressed up as Santa (in fact...
