Last week, the morning sign in for the children changed.  The children are asked to match their typed name and their picture. The children really enjoy this each morning!


In the Maple Room, there is a recycling center filled with cardboard, plastic and paper items.  Today, Davis worked with tape and two cardboard rolls to make his own telescope.  Once finished, he decided that it could best be used in the Pine Room by himself and other children as they engaged in imaginative pretend scenarios.  



The outdoor art cart continues to be exciting for the children.  Along with the paint dobbers, there are now crayons available for the children to make leaf rubbings.  Below is a picture by Damian M.  He says, "It is me and I am jumping in a pile of leaves!"


After learning about clay tools last week, the children can now visit the Oak Room and explore the uses of the tools on clay during center time. Below Drew, Tanner and Allen are pictured. Allen is showing Ms. Gratz the piece of clay that he used the tools to cut from his clay.  


Also in the Oak Room, the texture table continues to have play dough.  THe children have been exploring what it feels like, what it smells like and even how to make it! Ayden P. is pictured rolling out his dough so that he use the cookie cutters. 


Outside the children used the tree cookies and tires to create a pathway.  They walked along it, balancing carefully.  Together they worked to move the items in order to change the pathway to different places.
