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.

"Look, we made it like this. We can use the popsicle sticks."

"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."

The boys finally realized (the video cut off 😕) that if they knocked the block over, it would have the same effect of using your hand to push it down. It was so cool!

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 :)

the end is near

Today was so much fun! We were missing some of our teachers but we had a blast together in PJs playing with Cicadas! Tomorrow (WED) is birthday celebration: wear blue, Bluey, letters Thurs is water day! We will have a have a sprinkler, a baby pool, and other water related fun. Please have your kiddo in their suit, water friendly shoes, and sunscreen! Also make sure to bring a towel and dry clothes to clean up with at the end. (If your child is in a diaper/pull-up, please make sure to SEND a water diaper and we will put on right before we get wet!!!)

You need to wear your suit, water friendly shoes, sunscreen already applied, water bottle, towel and dry clothes to change into!
