POD A: Thursday, February 23rd

Hello Everyone!

Today was a very interactive day in POD A! In the morning we had exercise where the children participated in an active video called Scooter & Me. We have also been experimenting with shaving cream and powder paint. Using powder paint to create the desired shade of color the children want to work with fun and experimental. In the light hall the children are discovering the plasma balls and what happens when we touch them and move out hands around them. Some of the children drew pictures of swirls in the writing center and brought their work out into the light table to place light table materials around the swirl they drew. In the afternoon the children participated in rough and tumble play. Thanks to the weather we were also able to go outside in the afternoon to get our wiggles out.

One of the new additions we have to the classroom is the magnetic wall over in discovery.  At the wall children are creating pathways by using half-pipes and circular magnetic holders to hold the half-pipes up. Right now we are working on imagining what types of materials will be running through the pathways that the children are creating.
