Sensory Exploration!

It was a very eventful day today, in Pod A.  This week we added another sensory table and we changed out the materials. One table has corn kernels and the other has pine cones, leaves, sticks, and acorns. In addition, the children were able to explore oobleck and had the opportunity to help mix the corn starch and water together. Also, in the oak room, Zin, Cynthia, Jamie, Isabell, and Pelumi explored the clay and used the tools to make different sculptures. The children had more time to discover new things in the classrooms this afternoon because we closed the option of going outside due to the low temperatures. However, this did not stop the children from exploring the new materials that were set out. 
When asked what it felt like, the children replied, "gooey." They also said, "It's melting in my hands."
