In the sensory table this week we tried out watching a block of ice melt and noticed how handling it, and squirting warn water on it helped it melt. The drama area has been transitioned into a movie theater! This afternoon we will introduce it and go over how to take care of the materials. Miss Brenda has been so kind to let us borrow some of her popcorn materials so we want to take extra care of them fr her. Each week we will add a little more to the area. The children have been very interested in watching the construction trucks outside and today we took extra time to go outside and watch and we will continue to do this each chance we get.
