We discovered a pumpkin will float!!!

I left this open as a center during choice time! The children investigated to see what would sink or float. They even took what floated and made a raft for the dolls that would have sank otherwise!

We made a prediction during the story “The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything” by Linda Williams. We turned to our buddies and shared our predictions about what the little old lady would see when she opened the door.

We sorted uppercase and lowercase Ee.

We explored the big blocks with balls! This friend discovered he could make a ramp for his ball to roll down! This is an observation of gravitational force pulling an object.

This friend discovered a fun game to play as he used a longer block to push the ball down a path.
