We started the week off with a brand new activity for the boys. Because we are focusing on the words in, out, eat, and open the boys had the opportunity to use the wind tunnel! The wind tunnel is always a big hit when it gets pulled out and today was no exception.
N and L were using all kinds of different paper and materials to put through the tunnel. They tried using a mesh material, cellophane, regular paper, and tissue paper! N was quite interested in seeing if different materials from the around the room would fly out of the tube. He was most successful with the different papers.
N did have one idea that provided for some good entertainment for a little bit. He wadded up all of the mesh material together to form a big ball. N then proceeded to put the ball of mesh near the high speed fan.
Both boys watched as the ball slowly made its way through the tube. It crawled slowly up and up as the boys watched in anticipation for it to fly out.
After giving the tunnel a few shakes, the material began making its way out! Both boys began clapping as it floated out and opened up.
Yay! It finally came out! The whole room erupted in cheers as we all watched it gently float to the ground. The fun didn't stop there. N continued to find different heavier objects to try in the tunnel. There was little success, but we will try again tomorrow!
Stay tuned...
