How Far Will It Fly?

Continuing on our paper airplane construction yesterday, the kids were anxious to get them back in their hands and have them sail through the wind tunnel! They each picked out their planes from yesterday since most of them either wrote their names or made a particular mark so they knew it was theirs.

L asked if we could use the meter stick in order to help get some of the planes that were getting stuck out. A good solution, but today not many of the planes were getting stuck so it wasn't serving that purpose anymore. They did notice though that there were numbers.

"Why are there numbers?"

Ms. Margie quickly explained that we can use it to measure. This gave them an idea!

For the next 10 minutes or so the kids would take turns putting the planes into the tunnel, seeing where it landed, and then reading off the numbers it landed by. It was such a fun way for them to stay engaged and make a little more purpose of out the wind tunnel play.

Day 2 Pine Room Fun!

For our invitations we have our small world were we can tell stories about what our families like to do outside. In our dramatic play we are showing how we can care for others, including our baby dolls. Outside we are checking out how fun our giant snail and mud kitchen are.

Rainbow Snow!

The Pine kids wrapped up their week with playing in the snow! Unfortunately, it is just a wee bit too cold to be playing outside. I do appreciate all of the kids wearing snow boots, coats, hats, and gloves though! It's helpful for the days in which we do decide to take a quick walk around the block 😊 Instead of playing in the snow outside, we brought it inside! Snow is fun to play in, but we couldn't really build a snowman, throw it around, or make snowballs.. what could we do?! Then it dawned on us, let's paint it! We got out some water colors, eye droppers, and a big pile of snow and the kids went to town. They used their knowledge of mixing colors to create new ones as they dropped them onto the white snow. "It's so cold!" "Look, look, I am making it pink!" "It's blue snow!" They giggled and laughed as the slow melting snow absorbed the bright vibrant colors. It hardly looked like snow anymore! This was a great way to incorporate...
