Journal time Thursday morning: "Alright boys and girls, close your eyes. Now I want you to imagine for a moment that you are in a magical land where you have been turned into someone VERY special. You might be a Princess, a Knight, a King, or a Queen. You might even be a big scary protector, like a shark or a dragon! (everyone had their eyes closed and began to gain a slight smile in the corner of their mouth. I could tell in that moment that they could SEE who they became!)
Imagine that you live in a far away land... Where are you? Amongst trees in a forest? Up on a hill? Under water?
Your house has turned into.... a castle!... What does it look like? Imagine how many towers your castle has, what shape your door is, and how many people live there with you.
Open your eyes. I want you to keep that special vision in your head and go draw what you just saw and tell me your story"

| This is Hayden's Castle. It is on the ocean floor, her family has turned into mermaids! She is the Princess, who is taking a horse drawn carriage ride (on the left side of the castle) to her new under water home. |

| Another castle activity: Students had to work as a team to build a grand castle using all the blocks from the Construction center. They got so creative and thought of every detail! I saw gates, motes, guardian animals who would defend intruders, the whole bit. So cute! |
