Tinker Room

By -
We had a chance to explore the tinker room today.  The focus in the room right now is mosaics.
S:  Eyes, and a nose and a happy face.
 A:  You can make music?
B:  I need the purple crystals.
C:  Yes.
A shares her with B.

The exploration of the shared materials led to natural practice of turn taking skills with peers.
A:  Here.  Have a chip.
G:  They are potato chips.
A:  No. Tortilla chips.
B:  I eat sugar toast at breakfast.

 
J:  If I made a giant eyeball beanstalk I would just knock it down on my head.
 M:  I am definitely going to stay here and make stuff.
L:  Oh no!  It keeps falling.
 Q:  I’m making really long lines.
G:  I just making chicken.
I really like this clock.

Science Experiment

One of our favorite science activities is using baking soda and vinegar.  There are so many different ways to experiment with them.  Check out the video below for a fun idea!  I also like to add food coloring to small cups/jars of vinegar.  You can use any kind of dish to spread out baking soda.  Then with a dropper add the different colors of vinegar to it.  You can use medicine droppers, straws, or even small spoons to add the liquid to the powder. What did you observe?  Here is how it went out at our house. Kennedy and Keegan in action  Even my 5th grader Kellan was amazed!  When they were done they wanted to pour the cups out to see what would happen.  So cool!
