Today in the Walnut classroom children continued to play with the sand and water tables. The light cave has still been an interesting place. Children are exploring magnents with the game Does it Stick. 

In the Oak classroom children are exploring painting and floam. Today they chose to make pretend ice creams with the floam. 

The small groups in the Oak and Walnut classrooms combined their small groups today and went on a nature walk. The children explored nuts and found a chestnut tree that they thought was very interesting.

In the Maple room today children continued to construct. Trains and cars are still very popular, Today children explored making a ramp and flying cars off the ramps. They also like to put animals on the wood and construct animals houses. They also have built with the recycled materials in the recycling center. 

In the Pine classroom the fire station is a huge success and we always have at least six children circulating through that area. We have had a few large group discussions about firefighters and how they protect themselves.
