Repurposing Days

We're starting a new tradition! It's part of an intention to encourage the children to look at the value of 'things'. It's called 'Repurposing Days'.
It is our hope that this day increases the children's abilities to look 'outside the box' and recognize that 'things' can be just as much fun as the commercial products.
So starting September 4th instead of a traditional show and tell day, the children are encouraged to look around them to find an object such as a spatula, pinecone, or a rock, and bring it to share. It is during our morning meeting we will take a look at the item and brainstorm ways to include this item in our play.
We'll keep you up to date on the success of our Repurposing Days.

Now for a little visual insight into our daily goings on:
These buildings are popping up everywhere!


Oil Pastels are even more exciting when they come outside. 

Carbon Paper! Who knew how cool it is?

A small portion of our music fence

A tower worthy of the step stool

Our writing centre seems to be the hubub of activity these days.

Getting a little haircut

Measuring Worms
