Hello, everyone.

Here’s what we’ve been doing this week!

The water table has turned into that sunny beach getaway we mentioned. Kids have noticed the sand has gone back to feeling moist or dry in most areas. We may experiment with adding a bit of water to observe that transformation again:

We’ve added cardboard tubes to the cars in our table. Kids have helped tape them together to experiment with longer routes! We’ve also incorporated various widths of clear plastic tubes as well.

After creating our own designs with circles and glue sticks last week, we’ve brought in other shapes to manipulate and create designs in other ways. These activities have also been a way to introduce the concept of making a collage/mosaic, and have practice with such shapes to get ready to work on our class project for the Gala.

Some children have also started to draw their own shapes or creations.

Kids have been interested in the board game Hoot Owl Hoot we recently added to our game shelf. A child brought in a timer from home the other day. That has inspired others to explore and observe our classroom timers near our game table as well.

Thanks for catching a glimpse, 

Anita and Sarah
