Welcome to week #8!

Happy Monday Pine Room! Was there a full moon or did everyone have that busy of a weekend? Our friends really had to reacclimate to our school day, but in the end, we all had fun! This week are changing up our focus/magic words to I WANT and WHAT? Our invitations for centers has also changed this week. In our sensory we are exploring fall nature items, ask your kiddo what they saw (leaves, pine cones, acorns). We challenged them to find particular amounts of these items as a sort of scavenger hunt. Another invitation was Fall nature shadow play. We put shapes of fall items on an overhead projector to see what they looked like on the wall and encouraged friends to trace them to create a classroom fall collage. The final invitation offered playdough and tools for friends to create with.

Happy March

Of course we practiced our new words put and where. We also made sure to enjoy the gorgeous weather today by pulling on some boots and stomping in the mud. To end our wonderful Tuesday we wished Logan a very happy 5th birthday!

Submarine Update

Yesterday the Pine friends continued their exploration on how to create a submarine out of a box. They first started drawing sketches of how it should look.  "It needs to have windows!" "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...
