Spray Painting

It was a beautiful afternoon to spend outside on the hillside with friends from Magnolia and Dogwood. Our friends were excited to share the kind of painting we've been doing in the classroom with the other kids. 


"It works when it's close. It works far away too."


"Look! It's working. There's so much yellow."


"Oh! It's dripping down everywhere!"
"There's so much water. It's turning the floor blue."



"It's turning blue when I spray the purple."



"It's making orange!"



"It doesn't really work when it's upside down. There isn't enough. You can shake it up though and it works!"


The kids emptied all of the color from the water bottles onto the shirts. It seemed like that was the end of their color exploration until presented with a bucket of soapy water."

"What can we use this for?"
"It's water!"


"All of the color is going away!"
"The water is purple and the shirts are white."
"The water made it go away."



"My hands are purple!"



"The shirt is turning white again! I keep washing it to make it clean."


"The color is all gone!"

By the end of capering, the t-shirts were white again. The kids wondered a few things: what happened to the color? Can we get the color back? How did the color go away?

Next week we will continue to explore colors and look a little closer at how we can make them disappear and reappear.

Creek Time

  Happy Tuesday! We spent our entire afternoon out at Larson Park! It was definitely a hot one so when the kids heard we were going to get to play in the creek, they screamed in excitement. Not everyone wanted to stomp around in the shallow water and that was a-okay. Such a fun afternoon splashing around, exploring, and doing a great job sticking together as a class!

Tree Swing

The Pine kids were SO excited to get back to the forest today. Because S spends the beginning of her day in another classroom, she was already familiar with a coveted branch that hung low enough for the kids to try and swing on.  "There's a tree swing at the forest, we should all do it!" S, who seemed to display a high level of confidence, took a hold of the branch as R handed it to her. She took a deep breath and jumped off the log.  S swung with grace over the ground.  The others watched in awe and quickly lined up to take turns.  Each friend took a different approach and not always quite sure on how to get the same kind of lift and swing S did. W seemed unsure on the whole activity, but was willing to try. He couldn't quite get the desired swinging motion and lost interest after his first try.  L saw how the others were swinging and although a little scared, decided to try several times in a row be...
