New & Familiar Smells

This morning some Pine friends wandered over to the garden to check out what, if anything, was growing. They looked around at different plants and commented on the colors and smells they experienced. 

"There are so many yellow flowers!"
"I can't smell anything."
"Yeah they don't smell like anything."


"These are different. They are yellow still. So small!"


"Look, they are smaller!"

E was really curious about why some of the flowers were smaller and closed up. He tried peeling some apart to find out, but was still unsure why they were different from all of the others. 



"I don't think it smells like anything. It kind of looks like a flower!"


V & C started looking closer at some of the small green leaves C picked off a plant. 
"They smell like something!"
"I don't like the smell."
"I think it's lavender, we have that at my house!"

C passed the leaves over to E. He, too, took a sniff. 
"It smells good! I don't know what it is."


T was interested in the green leaves too. He sniffed them and smiled. T asked if he could try it too! 

He put the mint leaf into his mouth, bit down, and scrunched his nose. 

"No, yuck!"

While exploring the garden, we continued our conversation about the weather and how it effects different things. 

"It's so hot out. It makes me sweat."
"Yeah, but it's cold in the shade."
"It's cold inside too because the air is on!"
"The plants need water when it's hot."

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...
