Introducing Bob, the Scarecrow

Today at Morning Meeting, we read the book, The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid Of Anything by Linda Williams and illustrated by Megan Lloyd. It is about a spooky set of clothes, that turns into a scarecrow to scare the birds away from the garden! We realized that we didn't have a scarecrow for our garden, and so we decided to make one! We stuffed its pants and shirt, but didn't know what to call it. Julian said, "It could be a man or a woman or a boy or a girl, but it has boy clothes so I think its a boy." We decided to call it Bob.
Next we stitched his head together but before we could make the face, we had to decide what kind of face to make.  Some kids thought we should make a scary face and some kids thought we should make happy face. We decided to have the children sketch their ideas. And they drew some amazing pictures! Check out our bulletin board! On Monday we will make our final decision.

A mystery also happened during Choice Time today! Tamara was reading some children some books, when she picked up the class favorite, Green Eggs and Ham. Only, all the words were different; it was in Latin! As she started reading it, the children were at first confused, then hysterically laughing! It was so funny, but we have no idea where it came from!
