This week we announced to the Tel Aviv class that we were making brand new situpons! In the Tel Aviv class we have situpons for circle time that show us where we are sitting for that days circle. The old situpons were created the first week of school. They were made with markers and stickers and each one had the child’s picture on it. These new situpons were made with a very popular medium in the Tel Aviv class: watercolor! The group was so excited that they could paint new situpons and they had become well aware that the old one’s were getting a bit worn. It was great to see the buzz surrounding the art table that day because each child knew that they were making something that had a purpose; we use situpons everyday! While I was sitting with them, Micah Rosin turned to me and said, “You know how I put all these colors in? I stayed here for awhile!” The focus was amazing, and it shows in the product! We can already see beautiful development in each child’s art since the beginning of the year!
Lauri and I added the pictures and laminated the designs later in the week, and the lunch bunch group was SO excited to see the final product. They dug through the pile to find their picture and quickly found a space on the rug to give them a test run! We loved creating a practical product together and are looking forward to all the circles we will enjoy while sitting upon our new situpons : )
