I bought them canvas bags to decorate so they could borrow their gloves and hats for the whole year!! They played much longer and were much less sniffly coming inside!!\r\n\r\nAlso, the snacks that were provided lasted over a month! With 27 Kindergarteners in my class, my students are always hungry!

Our artists were shocked that *everyone* got a chance to discover and build. Our next steps are to explore our clay-rich environment to see if we can harvest the resource directly from nature so we can create an annual tradition of earthenware works.
