Land Lab Adventure: Week 2, Day 3

Today was another great day, and we started it off with a group walk to the pond to set up and light our pit kiln which will be firing the children’s plant tiles. All went well, and so far it looks just like it should, but we need to give it another day to cook. We then came back to the Land Lab and did arts and crafts on the porch, or worked on our projects some more in the woodshop. It was a great morning, and I saw some great projects shaping up. Lunch was followed by a great few games of Capture the Flag. During quiet time most kids went to the porch and drew, read, practiced knots, or painted with watercolors (a new favorite pastime)
During quiet time we also planned out our afternoon activities. Leslie ran the woodshop again, and Judy helped the kids make stargazers on the porch. Allie and I helped the kids tie-dye bandanas. Almost everyone made one, and they all look great! For those who didn’t make any, we will have extras tomorrow, and we will also be doing T-shirts. If your child has anything white at home which they would like to tie-dye, they can bring in one or two objects. Tie-dying is not a clean business, so parents, remember not to dress your kids in fancy white dresses tomorrow.
Your child also should have brought home a list of what to bring to the overnight tomorrow; we will be having a pizza party for lunch on Friday, and various other surprises in between.

Can’t Wait!
