Happy Friday!

We wrapped up our week talking about community helpers. Today, PREK1 children found their name on the board and we read aloud their ‘what if’ statement to see what community helper fit! We’ve loved learning about different community helpers this week and especially hearing children’s stories about various community helpers that they’ve came across in their life!

We tried using “things you would find in a kitchen” to paint with this morning. We tried a whisk, a rubber scraper, a water pipe, a basting brush and a fork. The kids were very interested in experimenting. Several found new painting techniques that they liked. Several kids found that if they painted in layers and then used the rubber scraper over the top they could make lines and see through to the under layer of paint. One friend, feeling perplexed as he revealed the under layer, looked behind his painting Smile …What wonderful curiosity!

This morning I noticed fewer kids around the sensory bin so I began setting up something new. I added some stones and water with the idea to create a way to experiment with water displacement. However, as I was doing so Arthur exclaimed “Oh we can make a pond!”. There were several “Yeah!” comments from the other friends watching…so it became a pond! We can try water displacement another day! Paige was inspired by the pond play and made a drawing of a turtle in response!
