Good Afternoon!
There were several friends who made boats out of their trailer projects as their imaginative play evolved yesterday…so being a child lead learning program, today we offered a boat building project. Friends used tin foil to create a boat and then tested it on the water to see if it worked. Some friends were happy with how their boats floated right away. They added some bears to the boats and enjoyed watching them float. Some friends chose to try a few different ideas, heading back to the drawing board for a re-do or two. Some who found their boat kept sinking, changed course and decided to make it into a submarine. All of these solutions were born of trial/error and creative problem solving!
After the boat project, some kids got interested in making puppets with some paper bags that a friend had brought to share at the art center. After they created their characters, many of the kids put on puppet shows for an interested audience!
We ended the week by enjoying some outside time this morning! We were even able to get the balance bikes out—we are itching for spring to get here!
