Ready, Set, Launch!

To cure the Monday blues some Pine friends continued their exploration of launching materials into the air. V & B were very curious to see what they could propel into the air and how high. They tried using their feet and hands as the main force to launch materials in the air. 


T worked hard putting several of the rockets on the launch pad of the board.


Once the rockets were standing on their own, T tried using both his hands and feet to project them into the air. He quickly found out that stomping on the board gave him the desired result. 


B tested both board with his hands first. 

"I use my hand for this one because it goes high."


"I have to use my feet for this one because it makes them go higher. Using your hands is harder."



"It went higher than T!"

Not long after the small rockets were being launched into the air, B found a small tree cookie that he wanted to try.

"I think this will work, but it hits the ceiling. Why does it keep touching the ceiling?"- B
"We could go outside to do it! It can touch the sky."- V

We headed outside to give it a go. 


"Oh my gosh, it goes so high!"

After a few rounds of using the tree cookie, both B & V were taking cover as it fell back down to the ground. 

"Maybe we can try leaves & grass?"


"I think these will work."




"The leaves & grass don't really work."- V
"It's really windy."- B
"Maybe we can try it this way."- V


V remembered how high the tree cookie went into the air and decided to place the leaves and grass on top of it before stomping on it. 

"It worked! They went higher!"

V & B took turns and even got some of their other friends interested in trying to "touch the sky." We left the morning wondering:

How can we make things touch the sky?

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 :)

 Ms Amy always has fun practicing speech and language! Our friends had lots of opportunities for different kinds of movement.
