Rainy Day

 We were so close to being able to play outside before the rain came, but unfortunately we only made it outside for a few minutes before it started pouring! This changed our plans a bit and we had to find a space inside to play today. After meeting the boys all lined up and we headed to the collaboratory.


 

The boys immediately went separate ways and began playing individually for about the first 10 minutes or so. 


B made his way over to the ramps. He was fascinated by his ability to be able to rock the ball back and forth along the curved piece of wood. He was much more interested in holding it than building a tower for it to roll down. 


T found himself at one of his favorite toys in the collaboratory- the wind tunnel! He cracked himself up as he tried a variety of materials in the tunnel, but would smile as the scarves successfully floated in and out. 


W made his way to the blocks and began building tall towers to stand on. He would occasionally fall off and rebuild it as he tested out all different size blocks to stack. 


A started out jumping on the trampoline to wake his body up and get moving! 


J made his way over to play with some friends in the Dogwood class to build with the colorful cups inside the mirrored triangles. He made tall stacks and admired his work before knocking it down and starting again.

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...
