Some moments from The Open Class Room / I love the OC

The oc has been more then we could ask for, our schedule was full to the brim and yet we missed more events then I could count. I'm so humbled by the parents and the teachers who constantly strive to make the oc what it is and have learned so much simply by example. Fall at the open class room was a treat filled with field trips, party, and art projects galore. Here are just a sample. Not pictured here was our stone soup party in which i made a batch of that lovely Waldorf kinder bread dough for the kids to shape, there was also a field trip to Red Butte Gardens and a trip to see a play about dinosaurs. I was also given the privilege to help at the art bazaar were the whole school is invited to come and make homemade holiday gifts for their friends and family. There was the parent mini corses where each parent was in charge of teaching a once a week 45min lesson of a subject of their chose for two weeks. I taught the kids how to make scarves with 5 finger knitting. Then the student were allowed to chose one per every two weeks until the end. Then there are the family fairs still on going. we shared our tradition of going to the Holi festival and had the kids throw colors at the snow.


Here were painting the paper mache pumpkin the kids have been working on.............
