100 Marble Party, Campfire, History in a Van

This week began with a performance by Columbus Children's Theater.  The four person troupe performed Magic, Mystery, and Mayhem, a series of stories written by local elementary students.  It was an enjoyable way to start a Monday!  Our Monday ended with a bang as well:  our 100 Marble Party! The 2D Kings and Queens voted on a "Toy Party" where they each brought in one toy from home to share with classmates and play with at the end of the day.  We enjoyed salty pretzels and sweet kettle corn as a we played.

Our Tuesday began with an equally exciting event:  Campfire Stories!  At 8:05 in the morning,  we marched to the woods with our Pre-K buddies to enjoy stories around the campfire.  The second graders also roasted marshmallows for S'mores and shared hot chocolate with their buddies.  Yum!

On Wednesday, the Ohio Historical Society visited with their History in a Van program.  Ms. Robin set up eight stations of Native American artifacts.  Second graders rotated through all of the stations which included:  Games, food, houses, artifacts, clothing, bones, fur, and a trading post.  It was a lot of fun to play games, try on clothes, and touch many artifacts from approximately 200 years ago.
