Bimulous Sky and Rainbow Hearts- how do you celebrate your sky.

🐜 Guiding Ideas 🐜
Autonomy and agency. Containing, inviting and being invited. More gifts for the community. The sky.

Ingredients for today’s lab

Today Wendy shared her favorite book ever, When the Sky is Like Lace by Elinor Lander Horwitz. Illustrated by Barbara Cooney. Written on the year the witch and the curator was born, it is now out of print, but you can still find some copies out there. In it Elinor speaks of the Bimulous Sky. “What is a Bimulous Sky?” you ask…

In Tijeras: With every ant-inspired mural laid out throughout the classrooms so that amigues could help connect them with art materials and natural loose parts. Clay on the table to continue to build the ant hills. Magnolia Pods for painting with Wendy and a damp ginormous log from the tree bed outside with a real life slug and mud.

In Papel: Every loft, tunnel, tent, and bench arranged like an ant colony for gross motor ant play. The two sensory tables were filled with buttons, other small objects, and cup to help transport them.

In Piedra: The Brainstorming snacktime was lead by Camila and Claudia.

Outside: BRAINSTORM FOOD & NEWS HOTEL was open for gift giving.

What just happened?

A Claudia edited video at then end of this blogpost tells the story in a nutshell:‍ ‍Claudia’s beautiful sky from a picnic blanket, Livneh’s sky party, Magnolia Pods Blast Off con Sebatian, Sunny’s sky, juegos artificiales con Camille. Matias’ anthill.

Rafa’s notes:

Sunny: maybe when my mommy see the sky she sees a heart!
The sky is plum purple….
Toly: es mi color favorito!
Jude: the trees dance? (After hearing the book say this)
Wendy: let’s away and dance like trees
Jude: That’s wind!
Nay: Cuándo estoy en el cielo veo las nubes (mostrando foto)

With Eva we built teeny tiny picnics for the ants to exlpore. With Nicole the anthills became ant castles, with towers and look outs and princess ants with baby eggs,

Camille: Queeeee!?
Levneh : maybe when the sky is beautiful there’s a star party
Lola: I have a mom and kitty cat. My kitty cat does not like the sky.
Sunny: it’s a rainbow heart! Look at the sky, grab it, and take it home.
Isabel: Sebastian what do you see in the sky?
Sebastian: I see a rocket! In the house!
Leo: I built some clay in the side of the bridge and instead of falling they can stick  
Livneh: when I went outside I saw…I don’t know
