What Goes Up...

 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...

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...
