This update is from Tuesday Sept. 13th, but I had some technical difficulties with my computer. There we're still appointments going on Tuesday, but i was drawn to the discovery area by a few children playing with the corn in the sensory area.
We decided to add corn to the sensory tables in the discovery area, because Fall is just arond the corner and early this week the children got to harvest corn from the garden. We also added funnels and cups that the children have been using to pour the corn back into the tub holding the corn.
Some children used their hands to pick up the corn and see how much they can hold and then drop them, Racheal let a few slip out, then a lot, then a few again. She kept opening and closing her hands seeing how doing that affected how much corn fell. "Look how many fall when I move my hands." -Racheal Kelly used the scoop to pour corn into the funnel, but due to all the corn in the funnel none was coming out. So she dumped it out and poured in more corn, but this time she poured it slower and had a big smile as the corn fell through the hole. She looked at me and did several more times, smiling each time corn fell out.
