O Octopus

The kiddos in my class are used to seeing octopus tentacles being grilled on skewers in the market stalls, but making a crafty one wasn't too much of a stretch! I'm happy to report that as a class that data for letter recognition and phonetic sounds has jumped up greatly since I launched the letter collages.

M Monkey

Where I live there are four kinds of monkeys that we see nearly everyday. On the way to school or in the afternoons it is quite normal to see troupes of either shorter long tail macaques. And if we are especially lucky we catch sight of a gibbon or langur high in the branches of a tree. When I first chatted with the class about monkeys they were most excited about the short tail macaques who tend to be the larger monkeys who are not skittish around people. And thus was born the M Monkey, or M Macaque. The children are quick to say that the monkeys LOVE garbage can messes.

S Snake

Snakes are a regular occurrence here in the jungle. We see snakes slither across our outdoor hallway with some frequency, so the kiddos have a personal connection to them. This was reflected in lots of patterns, smiles, and familiarity.

Plarn Project

The kiddos chose what they would like to decorate our screen wall with and a nautical theme won. Kelley fish and beta fish now grace our outdoor wall. The wind moves the plastic strips so nicely. The space has become so much more colorful and fun, hooray reusing!!
