Back to the Collaboratory

 Today J joined the Dogwood class for some fun in the collaboratory! He had a great time playing with the others and testing out all kinds of different sensory based bouncing balls. Not only did J roll them down the ramp, but threw some of the sticky ones against the window and used the light up balls to guide his way through a small tunnel. J's ability to entertain and sustain play with just a ball or two is great! He is so innovative with how he wants to play with them and often uses his problem solving skills to meet his play needs. We ended our time today with a walk to get some fresh crisp air.

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...
