We are deep into the Deepening stage of our unit.  As we explore with our senses we discover things about ourselves along the way.  Some of the Pre-K are enticed by the opportunity to get gooey and others prefer to keep clean hands!  You will see photos of us from last week and this week.  Remember to show your children these pictures to help them discuss with you ways that they have connected to color and shape through our explorations.

IJ and TG were amazed when they discovered that they matched their beds!

TG made gray and IJ made the color of his shirt.

CK, SD and CK explored color hues and shades.

AG and JC explored color hues and shades.

MM and DJ had mixed emotions about the goop!

IJ read to CK and DJ.

TG and CK drew their plan for building.

The magnet blocks pulled the Pre-K together! This group of children worked together to make a home for the animals.

AM and KC made bear families.

SD sorted noodles by two attributes, color and shape.

Using our senses of taste and touch, we combined white(powdered milk) with brown(peanut butter) to make edible play dough.

JF and CG worked with Goop. We focused on what happens to a color when you add white.
