Winter family night
Miss Andrea's class painted snow that was in their sensory table during work time.
Work time is part of our High Scope curriculum. Students plan where to work, and share verbally or with symbols/drawings, what they intend to do during work time (which area to visit, what materials to use, and who they will play with).
Work time is 65 minutes. This is the "doing" phase where children carry out their plans.
Then we have recall time. Children reflect on their experiences, sharing with their class what they did, what they learned,who they played with or what problems they solved.

Miss Amy's class is decorating a winter tree in the sensory table. A sensory table allows for a child's development. They learn by using their senses; touch, sight, sound and smell. Materials in the sensory table change frequently in each classroom.

Miss Carla's class painted ice with watercolor paint and put salt on it to erode it. They explored gems and the students got to keep their favorites. They made fossils from shells and air-dry clay. They learned what a geode was and compared them with boiled eggs. They painted egg cups to look like geodes, and students painted their favorite rock during work time.

Where is the Fairview staff? Staff dressed us as Where's Waldo today. "Where's Waldo?" (or "Where's Wally?" internationally) is a popular series of hidden-object puzzle books created by Martin Handford. The goal is to find the character Waldo, who is wearing a red-and-white striped shirt and beanie, in intricately detailed illustrations filled with many other characters and objects

Miss Lisa and Miss Randi's class made applesauce today. it was a hands-on, multi-sensory activity that integrated learning across science, math, literacy, and motor skills. It provided a meaningful, real-world context for our students to understand where their food comes from and how it's made.
