It was really lovely to see how the children came back to each other. Javon had many spontaneous comments like, "I missed you guys!" They are such a sweet group of friends. And the morning discussion was as if we have never been away from each other, friends were working out who would talk next and giving each other the floor so graciously. It was beautiful and because they were solving all their own problems, I got to just sit back, listen and smile at their reflections and ideas.
We worked a little more on the building work that was started and inspired by the building party. Then we had a short discussion about what we learned from this experience. The notes that Gaby so carefully took are in the discussion binder on the welcoming table by the door. It was interesting to hear in their own words how they think they see balance and structures in new ways after so much problem solving!
Our wire work is growing, take a moment to come in and see what we've been up to. And tomorrow we begin exploring watercolor. Thank you to Ocean's family for getting us the supplies we needed for this! I think it will be a medium that really lends itself to helping these friends explain their many and great ideas.
Just a quick note today, more soon. It's nice to be back with your fabulous kids!
Have a nice evening, Jennifer
