Welcome week 5!!!!

 Hello Pine Family and welcome back; I hope you all had a great weekend! This week is sure to be lots of fun with some new explorations. We are still practicing our magic words GO and STOP and our good question words WHO and WHERE. To support learning our magic words we are using some new activities and music. Our invitations for center time consisted of the wind tunnel, magnetic ball wall, and kinetic sand. At the wind tunnel kiddos explored putting different materials in the tube and watched the air from the fan make the material GO up and out of the tube. Friends discovered that they could try to catch the items as the fell down to the ground. Some friends even noticed that some went really high and others didn't even GO up the tube at all. On the ball wall kiddos could construct magnetic tubes on the white board and watch the balls GO down the tubes. Friends noticed that the balls did not just STOP when they came out, but instead would roll all over the room! In the kinetic sand, we had a fun sensory experience squishing and forming silly things.

"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...
