Can You Trace Your Creation?

B & E picked up some different transparent materials from the table and set them up on the flat surface of the light projector. 

"Let's make a car!" B exclaimed as he began rearranging the gems into a rectangle. He picked up two transparent circles and placed them down for wheels. 

"There, I made a car!"

V had a different idea as she began to take a bunch of circles and cram them together above the car. Although she never expressed what she was making exactly, she definitely had a plan. 

"Okay, now let's draw it."



V & B picked up different colored markers and began tracing their loose material creation. 


They continued to switch positions as they worked in order to let the light pass over them and illuminate the different colored pieces. They seemed to understand that if they stood in the way of the light, their own shadow would cover what they were trying to trace. 


"It's finished! We traced the whole car!" 
"Let's color it in!"
"We need to turn off the light to color it."

B & V got to work and caught the eye of some other friends who noticed their newly drawn car. 


B took charge and let his friends know which squares and circles needed to be certain colors. He delegated the work load with his friends in order to finish their work of art.

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...
