"Is It the same sound?"

The last few days we've been exploring with sound. Today we put out glass jars with water in them at different levels. They discovered that the sounds changed depending on how much water were in the jars.

"Skateboard Skater Rink"

Yesterday a few friends created a game with some big blocks. They designed a "skateboard skater rink" with ramps and pretended to use surfboards and skateboards in their game. Today, they went back to the blocks and created the game again. 

"Sliding down the ramp on my surfboard."

"Look at me! I'm sliding down."

"Watch out! I'm coming down the ramp slide."

"It's turning like a rainbow!"

Today we experiments with light and color!

"Look at mine!" -Savy

"Let's see what it looks like when we put them together!" -Daisy

"It's purple!" -Savy

"Try to catch me with your flashlight" -Avery 

"We can make puppets!" -Eli

"I'm shining on you!" -Tommy

"I mad a pink light! It gets bigger and bigger!" -Ellie 

"Making Pink Dough"

Some friends went to the kids kitchen to make pink Playdough to investigate more with color mixing. Once the dough was finished we took it back to class and began mixing the colored doughs together to create some interesting pieces.

    Putting in the color.

   Mixing it.

    Mixing it on the stove.

    Stirring the Playdough.

    We mixed it in our hands.

       "Look! I made a spider in a spiderweb with the pink dough."
