Wall Projections

 Hello & welcome back! 

I hope everyone had a relaxing break! We are happy to be back in the classroom to continue our learning and play. It sure is cold outside so the Pine class took a little field trip to a place in the building we have yet to be in this year, the collaboratory! The collaboratory is always a fun place to go with the amount of different activities to participate in as well as materials to engage with. Today, the most perplexing provocation was the overhead projector. Yes, we still have a couple of them here in the building! 

I love the first few seconds of this video below. You can see how J is trying to figure out how the colors and the shape of the blocks were being projected onto the wall in front of him. You can see how he first picks up the block and tries to recreate the block being projected by just holding it up in front of the wall. The clip is short, but quite sweet to watch as J is trying to figure out exactly how this thing works. 

This weeks is showing to be quite chilly, but I wanted to thank you all for always sending your children in the necessary layers they will need to keep warm. We are going to continue to try and be outside and much as possible weather and temperature permitting. Please continue to send in the gloves, hats, coats, etc.
