An Awesome Visit from the WG Fire Department

The children were so excited to find that the surprise that they were waiting for was from the Webster Groves Fire Department. After our fire drill they stayed to talk about fire safety. During their visit they got a real call. The children enjoyed watching them put on their fire gear and drive off with their siren on.

More tomatoes

Today we cut more tomatoes and tasted them. More and more friends are starting to like tomatoes:)

Sharing chandelier pieces

   The chandelier pieces are really helping us to get to know one another.

        Do we have yours yet? Send them in!!

Sound

The children enjoyed making music.They sang songs like Jingle Bells and Mary Had a Little Lamb as they clanged the metal pieces together.

Tasty Tomatoes!

Today a friend brought in a tomato plant. She was so excited to share what she knows about tomatoes. She even allowed her friends to taste their own tomatoes. Thank you for sharing:)

Look how the blocks evolved today!!

Changes with color

       Some of our observations:

Every time I squirt the blue, it goes farther and farther. 

When I added the blue to pink, it turned into a different purple.

It's changing. This one is lighter and this one is darker.

The salt is running away. 

Nature Glue

Yesterday one of the children noticed that there was some sticky goo on the bench and started calling it Nature Glue. Today we went outside to investigate where this Nature Glue was coming from.

The children looked up and noticed that there was a tried right above where they had found the Nature Glue. One of the children made the connection with the "glue" and the tree by saying,"This sticky stuff can't just fall to the ground made from nothing."

They took the time to draw what they saw. 

Pose for the camera:)

         - I hear the bees

         -Sounds like an airplane

Interesting things

Yesterday on our walk around the neighborhood we stopped at the Bird Sanctuary. The children enjoyed collected "interesting things". Today they were able to explore with these found materials. They then drew what they saw.

Progress of the Game

Next steps for the children's game was to add players and to paint Fire Island, Flower Island, and Water Island. They found loose materials and painted them different colors. They also came up with a great idea for a spinner. The thought that went into this game is incredible! We'll see if they decide to add anything else.
