Good Afternoon!

*Note: There is a t-shirt order form attached to everyone’s daily sheet today .

An experiment was done this morning that focused on what objects moved when air was blown onto that certain object. Using a track as an incline, we tested various objects to see if they would move given an amount of air pressure. There were a few lighter objects that moved while the heavier objects (wooden blocks) did not move. Before we tested an object, we guessed as to what would happen!

A sensory art activity was made available at the art table this morning. Using Legos, children painted with different colored paints. Some children chose to make the Lego stamp all throughout their space while others chose to use it as a paint brush, making streaks throughout their paper.

The art experiences that we offer are process based. There is no guide to follow and children are able to explore the activity as they see fit. We are not looking for the product. The process is what keeps children coming back.

Here is a link to an article explaining process vs product:

Jackson was just hunting around the classroom for something to explore so he and Miss Melinda ended up taking the insides of old markers out to add to our water color collection. As Jackson started working, other friends came around, watched, and offered to pitch in.

It was a gorgeous fall day. We were thankful for the time we were able to spend outside.
