Happy Wednesday!
We began our morning Going On A Bear Hunt with our stuffed teddy bears around the front circle. We then grabbed Bean bags to dance and act out the Beanie Bag Dance song.
This morning we made Oobleck. It is a mixture of equal parts of corn starch and water. We used our hands in the mixture and found that the water sits on top and a solid forms on the bottom of our bowl. When we used our hands to pull the mixture up off the bottom of our bowl, the solid turned into a liquid and we watched it run through our fingers. We were also given colored craft sticks to stir the mixture and found that the color ran off of the craft stick to turn our white Oobleck the color of our craft stick.
We then headed outside to explore with our senses. Charlotte noticed a flower and bent down to smell it, while Eleanor used her sense of touch to explore the bark on the tree. Several friends were also busy cooking in the housekeeping kitchen at the table and engaged with a little cup at the table by the sandbox.
