Book launch party

Happy Thursday everyone!

Can you believe it??? Every week it's the same thing and every week we are surprised when we think that this week is almost coming to an end! We're so happy to play together with our Buds friends that we don't see how time flies! And we had so many more adventures today as well, let me tell you all about it!

After working on our patience, our dexterity, our alphabet and our timeline for our literary week, there is still one subject that we did not take seriously and that is really important to write our book: creativity! We have no shortage regarding that matter in buds class since every day we live more fun adventures than the day before, but today especially our creativity was put to the test! 

On the first activity table there were different objects: feathers, wooden sticks, small colored wooden figurines, connecting discs and wooden strips with punched holes in them. You might think that these are all simple objects with no connection between them, but for us buds friends, it's the door open to a whole new world! The activity table became a big city. B built a house with the connecting discs and added feathers to make like a roof for it. He also used a feather to dress one of the wooden figures and put the figure in the house. D took 2 figurines, he put them on a feather and slided the figurines on the table as if they were driving a car. S took a wooden stick and a wooden board with the holes in it to make it like a helicopter’s helix which flies over the city, and M has put feathers all over the table as if the city had a big park with lots of grass. Such a great adventure already!

On the other activity table we had playdough and N and N really enjoyed playing with it! N became the owner of a bakery! She told Erika that she made a birthday cake and N became an Avenger and said that he was creating something to scare away the evil hungry dinosaurs then he made a scary ghost! Thanks to N we know that hungry dinosaurs won't come inside our buds class, thank you N you are our hero! 

And we also continued our books by looking at the pictures with our friends who weren't there yesterday and sticking the pictures in their books. N was so happy to see his photo with the Olympic flame, D really liked using glue to stick his photos in his book and N really liked showing her book with her photos of her summer school adventures to her friends!

During circle time we did a show and tell of everyone's books today! We started with S's book and he knew it was his book before the teachers even said his name! S really likes our alphabet songs and now it seems he recognizes the letters of his name! Then we looked at N's book and she was happy to redo the funny faces she does on some of the photos in her book, M also laughed while looking at her book and B pointed to the photos where he appeared, nodding his head smiling. 

Then the next chapter of the action adventures of our buds friends continued today since we were surprised by a fire drill! We all covered our mouths, stayed close to the ground to avoid breathing the smoke, and we headed out with Erika while Marjorie checked that no one was left behind and that all the windows were closed. Today's chapter was really hectic!

Then we went back inside and it was already time to get ready for lunch time!

Thanks for today everyone, have a wonderful afternoon and see you all tomorrow for the last day of our wonderful summer school !

Love, 

Buds Friends
