Sunshine

The Sunshine orchestra is tuning up! Music can be heard throughout the day in our classroom. This sparked a new unit of exploration: classical music! The girls and boys began to show interest in the Boston Symphony Orchestra, requesting performances that included “The Nutcracker” and the score from “Star Wars.” During Choice Time, the students each crafted paper towel flutes, learning about wind instruments. Later, they crafted cereal box violins used for wonderful performances in the Dramatic Play area (we even constructed our own box office!). To truly bring this learning to life, the Sunshine children were treated to in-class demonstrations from a former student (a violinist) and a parent (an accordion player!). The sound of learning can always be heard in the Sunshine Class!

Starburst

When Magic Garden’s campus becomes covered in a blanket of snow, the Starburst friends are always eager to clomp outside for learning adventures! Our girls and boys continue to focus on self-help skills by readying themselves with snowsuits, boots, hats and gloves. The children love to buddy up and cruise down the various slopes, using sleds or simply their bottoms. The creation of a new snowman/snowwoman is always an option! Practicing math skills (big, medium, small), the Starburst kiddos continue to build snow people that greet our MG families everyday! Check out the fun!
