Yesterday we tackled the Giant, today, we slay the dragon!
On Monday we made crowns in the art center, yesterday we made shields.
Today we made jewels for the royals.
This little royal made his in "Bu-dog" colors!
More dress-up fun in the castle!
In the block center we built a pretty amazing castle.
Can you see the pattern in the roof line?
Peek-a-Boo!
In our story today, The Paper Bag Princess, a bad dragon burned down the Princess' castle and stole her Prince. This tough princess went after that dragon and outsmarted him. She saved the day!
Well, we chased that dragon all day. We went on a dragon hunt and got close...
We know we got close because that dragon toasted our marshmallows for our s'mores!
We crafted these little fire breathing dragons to remind us of this special day at summer camp.
Working with a mixed age group is so rewarding.
This project was one that required skills that our littles don't yet possess.
In order to give them the same opportunity, we cut the curved lines of the dragon face for them, and asked them to practice cutting the scraps. Everybody got a dragon and cutting practice, we just modified the project to meet each individuals' needs.
No 2 dragons are the same, so they say :)
We ended our day with a ridiculously silly game of telephone. We remembered how Rapunzel and her Prince had a hard time communicating, and we did too!
