Pancake Party
We were so lucky that Dogwood invited us to spend our last day before break enjoying pancakes!

Monday Fun
The last two days before break are usually filled with anticipation and lots of silliness. Today we were able to continue our Jack and the Beanstalk story in the small world, building tall with magnatiles, and color with shiny markers!
Ramp Exploration
Today we offered children an opportunity to build with big blocks. Of course, right away one child had an idea that sparked lots of interest and curiosity. GB began using the long blocks and lining them up against the shelf creating what appeared to be ramps. Then, he used a slippery square building block to go down the ramp. Spark! Many children came over and wondered what else would go down the ramp? I asked, "Do we need other ramps? From the collaboratory?" CB - "Yes! Go to the collaboratory!" So, we went and looked for ramps that felt just right. Once we found ones that fit his idea, we brought them back to the room for all to enjoy. I asked, "How can we stop the balls?" JAM - "I know! I'll put the block here!" LB - "What if we made a bridge?" GB - "I'm building a trap" "I'm trapping the balls!"
Wonderful Wednesday!
Children were so excited that the sun was out today and it was caper day! We paused our beanstalk conversation and had fun with Dogwood and Pine.
