Investigating

Wow, what a day we had in Pine today. While playing with the gak, one friend started investigating other ways to use materials presented at the table. The focus of gak quickly shifted to using the rulers as a sort of launch pad for the gems & "rockets." The whole class was immersed in the idea of being able to launch different materials high into the air. We continued to use go, stop, want, and more. Taking turns was also a huge part of our day that everyone is starting to understand. Such a fun day! 


"It flew  up!"


"We put the rocket right here, then we hit it."



"We can used stuffed animals too. They won't hurt anyone."


"I can show everyone how to do it."







"I'm trying to get it in the basket."



"I think the bigger one will work."


"Look, I made a seesaw for the rockets."



"The bigger one worked!"

Week 2 Day 2

 Pine Family is rocking and rolling in week 2! We are having less feelings of sad, mad, and scared upon entering class and more happy and fun throughout the day!  Friendly reminders: Water bottles should only come to school filled with water (it's the best for our bodies and in case another student would accidently take a sip it won't cause harm), sunscreen should be applied before drop off (there is not a lot of shade and not a lot of time for us to get the kiddos all lathered up), and bug spray should be applied before drop off (this is mostly needed when we start going to the forest on Tuesdays, starting on Sept 12th). Thanks :)
