KDH visits the Delta Museum

Thank you to Mr. Katz for creating a wonderful field trip to the Delta Museum incorporating our interest in maps. The children started the trip by receiving a map of the museum and then used the map to navigate through the museum for the entire trip. We learned about how pilots fly and move a plane. We even got to take turns moving a plane! Mr. Katz explained to us the travel maps airlines use to get to their destinations. The children looked at different airplane maps. We used different color Lego to symbolize the passengers going to different cities. Each child was a city and found all of their passengers by working together to sort the different color Legos Some cities the children said they were are Los Angles California, Charlotte North Carolina, Miami Florida, Orlando Florida, Barcelona Spain. The children observed Delta model airplanes and helped put together a seating map for a Delta airplane while they were sitting on it.  We ate snack under the Boeing 747 and even looked at a globe while we were there.

We’re all buckled, safe and ready for an exciting day! It’s so fun to ride with our friends!

Avraham Chaim: I liked seeing all the model airplanes. I liked the 747 especially going on the wing.

Gabi: Going through the tunnel that sounds like an airplane's motor was fun!

Eliza: Climbing into and sitting on an engine was exciting.

Shayan: I liked the pitch and roll. The very best was having my Daddy with me.

Emmett: I liked going in Shayan's dad's truck! I thought seeing all the uniforms was interesting.

Eli Sollish: I liked the model airplanes. The yellow one is my favorite.

KDH's Trip to the High Museum

I came into the class today wearing a lab coat. Henia asked me, "Why are you wearing that?" I asked her, "What do you think?" Henia replied, "You probably want to paint." "Absolutely," I answered. Everyone commented, "Just like Eric Carle!" Of the many interesting things we saw and learned yesterday, one was a picture of Eric Carle painting, using a broom. He was wearing a lab coat. Both the broom and lab coat were on display. Dovid modeled our child size lab coats (old white dress shirts) and Morah Sara brought in a broom for us to paint with next week. 

The tour at the museum began with our docent, Miss Beth pointing out that an artist had designed the museum itself. The children found squares, circles and triangles in the building.

On display in the special Eric Carle exhibit, were his original illustrations. Ms. Beth gave us some background to a few of the books and the children played a scavenger hunt game that we brought, trying to find the pictures displayed that they had on their paper.

We visited the African gallery. Yoni liked the headdress and mask best of all at the museum.

We saw a few other art works. Below is huge bowl shaped art work made with hundreds of triangular shaped mirrors. Besides for the beautiful reflections, if you stand in front of in and talk, you will hear an echo!

The visit ended with an art workshop, which Cassie thought was the best part of the outing. We used color stix to make rubbings and then cut out Eric Carle type painted papers to copy pictures of animals.

We noticed that Eric Carle, like us, draws self-portraits. His has a butterfly coming out of his head. 

Max, Henia and Ari Shacham were joyous in the elevators, as we went up and down to the different parts of the museum.

Back at school the children shared what they enjoyed most on the field trip. Noa liked everything. Hannah liked the art in the galleries that we visited. Dovid liked matching Eric Carle's illustrations with those on his paper. Ari Effron, Freeda ,Ruth, Cassie and Sam mentioned the art project. The car ride with friends is always a highlight. Reed, Max and Pearl and Ruth thought that was the most fun. Levi found the docent, Miss Beth, very interesting. Henia was intrigued by Eric Carle's lab coat. 

Shaya summed up all our feelings when he said, "This was the best day ever!" Izzy added, "A field trip with all my friends is so much fun!"

KDH Visit to Robert C. Williams Paper Museum

KDH took a field trip to The Paper Museum at Georgia Tech yesterday. We learned about the history of paper making, saw all the equipment dating back to when it was first made. We learned about which fibrous plants are used to make paper. Additionally, each child got to make their own piece of paper. The paper was made from cotton pulp and water with old shredded money mixed in. Mia told us that she wants to take apart the paper and retrieve the money!

Look at how engaged each of the children were!

Thank you to class mom, Lindy, for arranging the trip and to parent drivers and chaperones, Jaci, Pam, Terry and David. Thank you to David, for being the resident photographer. 

The children loved the trip!! Thanks moms and dads for making IJP the fantastic place that it is.
