AFC MAGNOLIA PM

We used some recyclable materials to make new bird feeders today.  The kids loved it so much that they will be making more throughout the week.  We discovered that our popsicle sticks were not long enough for some perches.  So the kids came up with the idea of collecting sticks.   We also added new wind creations to our exploration area.  The children also added onto a collaborative piece from the morning class.  It was full of materials and great conversations.  

Today we used our creativity and fine motor skills to make some noodle necklaces. Friends worked really hard to focus and keep trying even when noodles would fall off the end of their string!

Today we dyed noodles using vinegar and food coloring. They are going to dry over night and then we are going to make necklaces tomorrow!  Our other group experimented with wind and what blows. Friends added materiel onto a metal rack.  Then they saw if it could blow in the wind,  One of our friends named it "Runaway Squirrel" after all of our squirrels we have!
