Now for the Babies!

 As we continue our journey of taking care of others in the Pine class, the boys took some time after snack to make sure our babydolls got some food too! Taking care of others is such an important skill we learn as we grow through life and can be taught at a young age. By engaging in pretend play by feeding, rocking, and playing with these babies, the boys are learning to take care of someone other than themselves. It is developmentally appropriate to be concerned with oneself, but we can begin to teach simple caretaking skills through this with babydolls. Since so many of our families have new babies in the home, we thought this would be a perfect way to have the boys become little helpers. 

Have a great rest of your day and see you all tomorrow!

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...
