During the first week of Haifa Lunch Bunch Olive noticed two holes on the wall. "Whose eyes are those?" she asked. The whole group joined in a long conversation and decided to add eyebrows, a nose and lips. We had so much fun the next month we turned the eyes into a caterpillar, then a butterfly. Last week we created Tootsie the Bear! We wrote a book about Tootsie, with each class member writing a page of the story. We were delighted and surprised to walk into lunch bunch one day and find a letter waiting for us from Wednesday Mayim, asking us why "you keep changing whatever is covering the holes?" We responded "Because we like being silly." We look forward to what we'll create next with this expressive and imaginative lunch bunch!
My Mayim 3rd grader is so happy you wrote back! :)
