Finding the Rainbow

K & M were playing a simple game of "hide and find the diamonds." While one person pushed as many "diamonds" into the gak, the other would either close their eyes or look away until told to find them. 

"Okay M now you have to find the diamonds! They are really shiny so you'll be able to find them. There are a lot!"


M dug through the gak and pulled out three or four "diamonds" before noticing one particularly colorful one. 

"Look, I found a rainbow!"

M did find a jewel that looked like a rainbow! 

"It has all the different colors on it too. It's so shiny."


K & J were skeptical about the rainbow M found. 

"Let me see it. I want to see the rainbow."
"Oh yeah, I see it! It does look like a rainbow!"


The three friends were fascinated by the difference in that particular gem compared to the others. 

"I can see myself in this!"
"Oh let me look, I want to see me."

M continued to inspect the gem both close and far away from his face. 

"I can kind of see tan, and eyes, a mouth, my nose, oh and my hair!"



M was determined to find another rainbow gem. He started shuffling through the gak and pile of gems to find another. 

"Look! It's another one! There are two rainbow gems. I can see myself in this one too."


"It looks a little different because it's smaller, but they are the same kind of rainbow. It's kind of like a mirror because you can see yourself in it." 

M, J, & K took turns looking at the rainbow rocks. They were interested in seeing how the colors reflected the light and seemed to change as they moved them. How was it possible to see themselves? Are there more "diamonds" that you're able to see yourself in? What else can we use to see ourselves?

End of the year!

 

Welcome back!!

 I hope you all enjoyed your long break together. We are back at it with our same centers and focus words UP and DOWN. This will be the last week for our current activities and will change it up for the last 2 weeks before our next BIG break. Only 12 days left together for the year and we are counting down!  Please help us celebrate:  Pine’s Friendsgiving Feast! Your kiddos have been hard at work filling each other's buckets through acts of kindness. They earned a special celebration before the Thanksgiving break but we held off our celebration so all friends could participate. Today we read a book called Feast for 10 and were inspired by some ingredients. If you would like to help us celebrate our friendship and donate to our feast, we would love it! Our plan is to celebrate on Thursday Dec 5th. Thanks :) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Zu9-130U8W6xGWiNsdlLMXYA9q8yOASwtSEybrST3Rc/edit?usp=sharing
