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.

 It was a Ms Amy day!

Happy Wednesday

 How lucky are we that it was nice weather which allowed for much needed outside time!

Happy New Year!

 Hello Pine AM friends! It is so nice to see you guys again after 20 days! I hope everyone enjoyed the time off and maybe even a little fun in the snow. Today we only had 2 kiddos come to school which felt so strange but we made the best of it. We will be ready to fully jump back in the swing of things next week with new words IN and OUT, exploring our expanded Bakery and Cafe in our dramatic play area, reading stories about winter and hands on experiences with things that are cold.
