"It's a Yellow Submarine!"

Welcome back Pine friends! Everyone seemed quite excited to get back to working on a project we started before break began. When presented with yellow paint, the kids knew exactly what they wanted to do with the box. 

"We get to paint the submarine yellow!"

"Yeah, so many submarines are yellow. Like 1000 submarines are yellow."

F & V started painting the sides of the box a bright yellow, moving around the chairs. 

It was interesting to watch as they moved around the table, avoiding the chairs and just standing next to the table to paint. It seemed to give them a better vantage point to paint the parts of the box that were still brown. 

B grabbed a brush and started painting, but noticed he wasn't able to reach the top of the box when he was sitting in the chair. 

"I think if I go up on the chair like this I can reach the top."
B adjusted himself on the chair so that he was kneeling. 

"There, look, I can do it like this to reach the top of the box!"

B stepped down and then realized if he stood up next to the table he would be able to reach the top of the box. 

"Look, I can just stand up and I can reach the box! V, I don't know if you will be able to reach the top of the box if you stand up."

V got down off the chair she was kneeling on and stood up. 

"I can reach the top of the box, look!"

V stood proudly next to the table and painted the top of the box yellow. 

"See, I can do it!"

Each child took a different kind of approach to paint the box. They experimented with different ways to reach the different parts of the box. and were successful once they found their preferred way.
