Launching Materials

The Pine kids continued their exploration using different materials to launch rockets and cardboard cutouts into the air. They were given more materials than yesterday to figure out how to rebuild the launching mechanism.

"I made it kind of like a bridge. It still works."





"It's flying up so high!"



"I made a seesaw with this one yesterday. It just goes like this."


"We can use this for a seesaw too. It can spin around."


"I need these blocks to block it from rolling off."

They worked purposefully and explained the different parts as they worked.  "We need to cut out a circle for it to be the telescope." B, V, & E continued to work with one another and make compromises throughout their building in order to make the best version of a submarine as they could.  The three finished building their submarine, but noticed something was missing.  "It needs a propeller so it can move!" How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like? The kids got to work on some research about wh...

Happy March

 Pine Family, welcome to March! It was an eventful day for us with Ms. Julie coming to visit for center time, a tornado drill, a birthday, and met a new friend Oliver! Of course we practiced our new words put and where. We also made sure to enjoy the gorgeous weather today by pulling on some boots and stomping in the mud. To end our wonderful Tuesday we wished Logan a very happy 5th birthday!
