Dear Parents,
Here are some highlights of our week in the blue room.
Group Project.
With Fall in the air and Thanksgiving around the corner, this week we used our senses to discover and investigate a pumpkin. Our friends took turns touching the outside of the pumpkin. They noticed the texture was mostly soft with a few bumpy rough patches around the pumpkin. Then we cut the pumpkin open and felt the inside. They texture was completely different! Some words our friends used to describe the inside were, "So squishy" and "Slimy."
Some friends were more cautious as they explored, unsure if they liked the texture of the inside of the pumpkin, while others dove right in, getting their fingers tangled up in the strings and seeds. We scooped out the inside of the pumpkin and placed it in a ziplock bag which we used later to squish. We also saved extra seeds to plant later in our garden!
Sensory
Our sensory table was filled with spices this week. Cinnamon, Paprika, and Oregano aromas were present as the children used measuring spoons and cups to pour spices from spoon to cup. We saw that the Paprika and Cinnamon spices left a residue on our hands. Some friends said the Cinnamon smelled spicy.
Outdoor
This week we got to use our water pump! Our friends took turns pumping the handle to push water out of the ground, it was so cold! We are excited to discover new ways to use this new tool in the upcoming weeks before it gets too cold.
