Navigating the Forest

Now that the weather has cooled down, the Pine friends find our forest time much more enjoyable. The forest comes with many challenges... the paths are narrow, trees have fallen over, and the trees have made it dense and thick. Despite the physical obstacles, the Pine friends figured out different ways to get around. 

B wandered down the path caked with fallen leaves & mud. He pointed towards the large log and said, "Up!" \

B was determined to make it to the other side of the log. 




B walked over and looked above and below the log wondering how he was going to get to the other side. Just then, E walked over and ran into the same predicament... how will they get to the other side. 


Both E & B peaked over the top of the fallen log they realized it would be difficult to get on top. 

"It's high! I want to go over."





E made his way over to the other side of the log where he noticed some lower branches. E stepped up on the branch and began his climb over the log. 











Success! E made it over the log! 

"I did it!"

 Back on the other side of the log, B was still deciding how he wanted to get to the other side. He watched as a friend from Magnolia crawled underneath. B sat down and began to crawl underneath the log. 



B flawlessly executed his journey under the log. He made his way through the damp dirt on his hands and knees. The kids discovered two different ways to get over to the other side of the log! B was able to watch his peers and figure out a second way to navigate his way through the forest while E came up with his own idea on how to conquer the log. Two different experiences just a few feet away.

Submarine Update

Yesterday the Pine friends continued their exploration on how to create a submarine out of a box. They first started drawing sketches of how it should look.  "It needs to have windows!" "We should make it yellow too." "It also needs a telescope (periscope)." Now that the drawing phase was complete, some friends wandered over to then build a submarine out of the blocks. 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...
