Floating Scarves

As we entered the collaboratory, many of the Pine kids ran over to the wind tunnels asking if we could use it. They started putting the multicolored scarves through the tunnel, watching them gracefully float back down to the floor.

"It's going out so high!"

"Look, I caught it!"

E put several scarves through, watching each one hit the ground. He giggled as they floated high above their heads.

L studied the second wind tunnel. She found a small white scarf and placed it on the fan used to propel the material. L put the scarf in and giggled with excitement as it started slowly rising to the top, but suddenly it stopped. L then began to shake the tube.

L tried another scarf in hopes this one would come out the top. Still no luck.

E & C wandered over to see what was happening. L continued to put scarves in, but they all magically hung in the hair. All three of the kids stared as the scarf stayed still.

"Come out!"

L & C continued to try different scarves in the tunnel.

How were the scarves just floating? What could they do to get them out?

"Let's shake it!"

"Oh man, it's coming back down."

L was both confused and frustrated then decided to use the other wind tunnel. She laughed as the scarves she put in came rushing out. B decided he would give it a try as well.

The floating scarves were a mystery. "Why is it doing that?" (How did the float?) & "Why is it in there?" (Why weren't they coming out?) were just a few of the questions that came up as the kids watched the scarves magically hang in the air.

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 :)

Welcome back

Happy Tuesday! I hope you enjoyed your extra long weekend together but glad to see you all today. We changed out our word of the week, ask your kiddo if they remember what it is (PUT). At centers we continued exploring small world and our bakery. We opened the sensory table again and some faux snow and polar animals which was a big hit! We also changed out our gross motor center, changing out our obstacle course (crawl through tunnel, jump 10 times on the trampoline, and (steam)roll or summersault on the mat) for some thing new. Ask your kiddo if they tried to scoop the snowball, carry it across the balance beam and PUT it on the snowman.

Happy Monday!

Today was a special day in Pine room. Our friend Ari had a birthday on Thurs Nov 30, but unfortunately was out sick, so we had the celebration today! He chose a PJ day, was the special helper during circle time, our music master during music and movement, and shared his favorite book Creepy Carrots ! Some friends made him special birthday cards on Thursday to give him today as well. Finally, Ari decorated his special (birth)day canvas which is hanging in the hallway. Friends could also check out some fun pictures of him hanging on our Special Day board in the classroom. This week we are continuing with the words IN and OUT with music, stories, and play. We are exploring Space Art, leaves in the wind tunnel, small world, baby dolls, and roads and cars.
