Panda Observations

The Pine kids are becoming more interested in some of the animals we have been watching on live feed cameras (panda live feed). Today we looked a little closer at a panda by observing him eat bamboo and sleep on some rocks. Some of the kids decided to build their own home for a panda and talk about what pandas can do. We also started our Magic Words this week with Ms. Kari. We will start focusing on two core words a week to incorporate into our studies and play. This week's words are stop and go!

"They stretch like this."

"It's a square!"

"It's a cave for the panda"

"You can make circles like this for the panda!"

"I need to get all of this wood out!"

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...
