What's in a name?


Even before Morning Meeting, we were a very busy bunch. There was snack to be made...


...books to be read...


...and animals to tend to.


Then, for our "Stump the Turtles" math question, Tamara tried to trick everyone by adding in multiplication! Just when it looked like we'd finally fooled them, the Turtles figured out the answer.


We tried a new kind of yoga today, by turning our bodies into different letters.


At Morning Meeting, the Elephant returned to read us the final(?!) version of our story. It does not yet have a titles, and the elephant's suggestion of calling it "The Elephant's Story," did NOT meet with the group's approval.



Carol showed the class the backgrounds that have been created so far, as well as each of the story parts that would need an illustration.


At Choice Time, some kids began to create new story illustrations.



Outside, there was snack, magnatiles, bookmaking and baby washing...



along with swinging, climbing, water painting and bikes.


Inside, Sarah Lynne's mom helped the kids with a secret project, while a very complicated family worked through issues around marriage and child and kitten raising.
