Rainy Day Blues

I don't know about all of you, but this cloudy weather is really making me feel quite tired and a little stir crazy.

This activity is so easy to create just from some materials you may have at home! Ms. Margie was able to use some extra salt she had in her cabinet, but you could use a number of different things to draw in. You could try sand, shaving cream, or even dry rice!

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...

Welcome to the Pine AM Family! Our first day together was so exciting as well all got to know each other and explore our environment. You should be very proud of your kiddos! Stay tuned for a "Meet My Friends" paper to help you learn about everyone in our class :)  *My goal with the blog is to have a more lengthy description on Mondays (first day of the week) to give you information on what we topics, skills, items, etc. that we are exploring. I may not always have a narrative on the following days but will post pictures. (Please understand that if I, Ms. Carrie, am absent, pictures will not be posted.)
