Looking Back…
The children have been having a great time exploring tubes and tunnels. They have been sending balls, blocks, and cars down our big tubes to see how far they go. The corn kernels and tubes in the sensory table have been a big hit as well. We drank juice through “tubes” and also painted with tubes.
What’s New?
We will be wrapping up our Tubes and Tunnels project and changing gears as the weather changes again to winter. As a school, we will focus on sharing and caring during this season.
When we return from Winter break we will be starting our book project.
