Hello, 2024!
We hope everyone had a terrific winter break!
This morning a couple of friends encountered a problem…how to get the wheels for a building toy out from under the piano. During the trial and error process we brought out some flashlights to help our hardworking friends see what they were trying to reach. After several attempts with different materials our two friends were able to rescue the lost part. What remained from this project was a strong interest in continuing to use the flashlights. This lead to a set up for flashlight experimentation. Don’t be surprised to see more of this later in the week since it was a popular activity! Everyone enjoyed experimenting with changing the color of the light and illuminating translucent objects.
Adrian was interested in creating some math problems today, so we brought out the unifix cubes for him to use. He enjoyed creating groups of numbers to multiply. This drew interest form several other friends. A group project evolved trying to see how long of a line could be created using the cubes. It turned out to be a challenge to keep the line of cubes from breaking. The group had to problem solve, dividing up the labor. Some friends held the line of cubes together while others added more at the ends. It took a whole team to make the project successful!
