Reasons on where "WILD" should move

The children represented their ideas and thoughts of whether the playscape 
or the grassy hill would be better to move "WILD" 

"I think the playscape because there is enough space and it's very big." -MG


"I think the grassy hill because we can tie it to the trees and 
string through the holes." -CG 


      CD replicated the picture of the playscape below. 

       "I think there is enough room." -CD 

"We can use the holes to put the string through on the grassy hill." -NZ 

  "There are no plants in the way on the playscape." -MR

"Connect it to this." -PW

A new addition to the sensory table was added this week along with the water. Much conversation took place about different ways to connect the "pipes" together as the children manipulated the materials in a variety of ways. 

           "If the pipes break, the water and oil come out." -RJ
           "We need one more scoop." -MG 


"Don't put that on there, it's overflowing." -MC 

            "We have to keep water in this ring." 
          "Its going down, around, that way in the circle, and back around." -DW

Beautiful Observational Drawings

Look at how many special views one Spider Plant can have when you have little eyes draw what they see.  












How Beautiful!



Observational Drawing

The Spider plant was moved in the classroom to a table
so that other learning could take place in its spot.  The
next morning the children drew the Spider Plant based 
on their observation.
