Stuck on the Ceiling

 This morning started off quite interesting. All week the boys have had the opportunity to play with the wind tunnel set up on our large carpet we typically use for our morning meetings. This is by far one of the more engaging activities because it provides a multitude of excitement and entertainment for everyone! Today though, we had a bit of a problem that everyone got involved in. One of the pieces of brightly colored cellophane was stuck on the ceiling! 

B was the first to notice. 

"Up!" He exclaimed as he got up onto his tippy toes and pointed towards the ceiling. We all turned and gazed upwards. There was the yellow piece of crinkly paper stuck to the ceiling tile. For the next few minutes every kid made it their mission to get the cellophane off the ceiling! 

There were a variety of different tactics we tried: jumping, getting on our tippy toes, putting more scarves and cellophane in the tunnel, and lastly just yelling at it. It wasn't until the plug was accidentally pulled out of the wall and the fan stopped that the paper gently fell to the floor. Accidental success! 



It was so fun to see everyone engaged in problem solving. There were lots of laughs and lots of yelling. Happy Thursday!

"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...
