It's not every day that the kids say they do NOT want to go outside. We were shocked! At the very end of our meeting with Kari the kids took a vote: Collaboratory or Outside?
It was a landslide victory to go play in the collaboratory rather than play outside. The kids lined up and we made our way to the big space. It wasn't before long that they got right into playing a game they called "fishing!" It was hilarious. They all gathered long blue foam pieces to use as their rods and dipped them into the "water." There was one glaring problem... there were no fish! Luckily for us... these guys made their own fish. Our next problem, however, was a thinker. How were the fish going to stay on the pole?
"We need sticky!"
"Yeah like something that makes it stick to the fishing pole."
"Maybe we can have tape?"
Tape it is! With a little bit of help we got some tape onto the ends of the fish and the kids went at it! They loaded up the boats and started fishing for all the different colored fish floating around in the "water." Love to see this spontaneous pretend play. It was full of laughs, kind words, and sharing. A great day for the Pine room 😊
