Rainy Monday!

Today, the kids had fun exploring different areas within the pods that had new materials out for them to use. In Pod A, the floam was a big hit. For the past two weeks the children had the option to play with playdough, so they enjoyed getting to explore something new. The children were making shapes and enjoyed discussing why floam is sticky. Due to the rain the children were only able to go outside once. In Pod A, the children played at large group with the parachute. They explored a lot of different uses for the parachute, including games and songs.
