Rock Moving, Color Mixing, City Building

Today we worked on the playscape moving rocks out of the rock river.  The school is getting some new rocks for this space and needed our help.  While moving the rocks the kids found lots of little critters, slugs, worms, a snail and even a frog!

Inside we did come color mixing with paints.  The students put little drops of pain on their paper and then began mixing.  It was very interesting to watch as each kid as they all approached their paint strokes differently.  Some did small circles others did large long strokes.  Some students were very intentional mixing their colors while some mixed them all right away. 

 
 


 

Our building challenge today was: "How can you add to this city?"

A black and white cityscape was projected onto the wall.  The kids built their own towers and buildings.
