"First, you have to do the research. "   Max 

We are clearly focused on ducks these days.  After working with materials and taking the trip to the canal,  we had more questions about ducks.  Today children typed in their questions and we recorded questions and things we learned on large paper.   Perhaps inspired by this information, children again turned to found materials to create their own ducks.  

Children also thought about water today.  Based on Max's interest in sewer construction, children drew their ideas for a water exploration area.  Their plans included pipes, sand, colored water, squirt bottles, bubbles, toys, water wheels, and a squishy heart-shaped bubble maker.  Other areas of the room were  busy as well.  Once again, children enjoyed spending time in the small construction area which featured pretty ponies with magical powers and sleepovers.  We spent less time outside today, but there was still time for several children to board a pirate ship while others worked on small gem-like creations.   
We're looking forward to tomorrow when we prepare a tasty snack for the Parent Potluck!
