Relaxing morning....

Party Time!!

We had three friends turn 5 during Winter Break so a dance party was the perfect way to celebrate. They have another request coming soon...

Toy Car

One of our friends had a birthday earlier this week. His request was a toy car. He described what he wanted it to look like. His friends were then able to design a model. Later they had a model made on the Makerbot.

A story through clay

                       "Which house do you want to live in?" 

            The friends were manipulating clay and using wire to connect the buildings. 

           Another friend was working on humans that would choose where to live. 

 

During the course of the morning, friends said they needed presents for 

their houses. After hearing this discussion, a variety of paper and blocks 

were provided. 

                        Wrapping the presents!!

They go faster...

    A provocation was provided to gather ideas 

      about water moving. After listening to the 

   children, they shared theories and ideas about 

     speed and color mixing. 

     I mixed yellow and blue and made green.

      If they get bigger, they go faster.

                The blue is changing. 

          "What does it mean to go fast?" 

                   To go super speedy.

        The drop I squirted also mixed the colors when it 

         went down the ramp.

    

        When you add a drop, it changes color.

Building and Maze designs

We are building a city. We have a fountain inside but it's closed; a hotel; and we made a road with street signs. People can't walk on the street  and that's a mountain inside the city that people can climb on.

I'm driving around the city.
