Hello,
Today was a cold windy day at the CDLL lab. We spent most of the day outside as we usually do and the kids didn't seem to mind the cold weather. They took bike rides around the building with a couple of our teachers, and continued to wash babies outside in the water table. We also continued in the classroom with cutting wood with real saws, playing with the flubber we've made this week, and painting with the puff paint that we make daily. We also went to a picnic area by the Engineering and Technology building. Lets hope for warmer weather next week to continue the fun activities.

Today POD A ventured to the gazebo, one of our favorite spots on campus for our picnic lunch. With the weather being a bit cooler today many children chose to split their time between outdoor activities and indoor centers. New activities this week at centers include shaving cream, watercolor, and colored sand at the light table. In the art area we have provided the children with the materials for experimenting with color mixing and a color wheel to help assist them.

Hello Families!
For starters, today was Alyssa's birthday! We also had a long day of continuous planting with Mrs. Potter. Every time we were outside, she was laying down gardening soil and planting plants and seeds. Children helped spread out the soil with rakes and hoes, as well as walked around with watering cans to water plants around the playground. We had a picnic lunch at a new location today, under apple trees, right next to where our new campus garden will be! The children explored and tomorrow some children will have the opportunity to plant in the new garden. At the end of the day, there was a story read under the bridge on our playground, as well as a dance party that children from both Pod's participated in. Although the weather was a little cooler today, there was still a lot of time spent outside!

Tomorrow we are planning to revisit one of our new favorite picnic areas on campus, the new gazebo near the library. Also, keep a look out for our plans for our field trip.. we are hoping to go to the bowling alley at the SAC! See everyone in the morning!

Hello!
Today starts the third week of summer classes, and the first day the 409 students completely take over the teaching in the classrooms!
We had a great day, and everyone has finally settled into our new schedule that includes outdoor center time, which this week included new things like gears puzzles, and special art projects at the picnic tables! We also spent a lot of time planting in the flower beds, and working on the sunflower garden.

Water Day! POD B
Hello,
Today was a beautiful day and the kids enjoyed spending most of the day outside. We had a picnic under the maple tree across the street from the school, then after rest time this afternoon we spent outside with sprinklers all over the playground and a slip and slide that was set up also! There were lots of laughs, and smiles as the children ran around with the teachers and the other children. There were also students from the science department who joined us outside and had many different activities with bubbles. Some had experiments with how you can blow bubbles with different objects. There was a station where the students stood inside a kiddie pool with soap and water at the bottom and had a hula hoop around them and a bubble formed around them when the hula hoop was pulled out of the soapy water. Included are some of the photos that were taken during water day.
