It is all coming together now. Tonight i'll be doing more Main Lesson prep. And then on Monday we'll be ready to get started!
 

Here is the drawing, or the start of the drawing for the morning verse

Windows

Beauty is very important for the child at this age,
it nourishes the senses and having genuine materials in the class
is an important part of this

This is the wood corner





The theme in window is air and water




The mouse was just too cute! Made by a parent and bought at the craft fair

Five days left and counting!...

I can't believe it's only five days to go now!. The room has been painted, lazured and cleaned and we are now in the process of decorating it. Here are some highlights.
 
This is part of the seasons/nature table side of the classroom.
It will also be used to teach music.
The painting is of mother earth and father sun, which is the song the children will be learning as part of Morning Verse. The house belongs to Ricky Douse who is a goblin who has a cat called Evergrace and a hedgehog who comes to visit him. The picture alters everyday adding more characters and stories, until the new set of songs start.

The nature table/window sill

Curtains are up!!! All of them! Yes!

A parent has contributed an amazing picture of a paper cut
based on the story of the Wild Swans
