"Raindrops on My Head"

E sat down and picked up the eyedropper with curiosity. He carefully squeezed the rubber tip and watched as the blue water flowed into the glass receptacle. E quickly squeezed it out and laughed as it shot all over the container. He did it once more, but this time decided to gently squeeze the rubber end. He watched as one droplet came out at a time. 

"It's a raindrop!"



"Look, a raindrop! It falls on my head." 

E watched as each drop hit the bottom of the container. He then decided to squirt the eyedropper at the plastic sitting in front of him. 


"The raindrops are going down! It's raining!"

E then realized what was going on behind him projected on the wall. A video showing raindrops falling from the leaves accompanied by the sound of rain. 
"Wow! It's raining here too!"



"Look it's on the wall!"
E & L tried touching the wall and discovering that the rain wasn't actually there. They ran their fingers across trying to catch the drops. They could hear the rain, they could see the rain, but they were unable to touch it. 












E sat back down and started dropping the water on the plastic board. He stuck his hands into the water and laughed as he exclaimed one last time, "It's raining!"


E continued to look back over his shoulder to watch the rain as he created his own rain right in front of him. He continued to comment on how the eyedroppers created raindrops and that they sometimes fall on his head. It's been really enjoyable to hear the kids talk about their own experiences with the rain and making outside connections! We are looking forward to the day it rains so hopefully we can play in it 😊

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...

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 :)
