During time of free play, I took a roll of toilet paper and cut it into pieces. Then, Anastasia came and asked me what I was trying to do.

I told her “I’m trying to think what to do with this material, but I can not. Can you help me”?

She said we can make a case for pencils using the whole roll. Katerina came at the table and constructed a perfect case!

Then another idea came up. “We can make bracelets with the pieces you cut!”. So, Katerina, Artemis, Emily and Andriana made lots of beautiful bracelets.

Katerina said “hey, my case can also be used as a hanger for the bracelets!

Emily had another idea, and made a nice palm-tree!

During their “exploring space” project, children in pre-K class did a number of things…

Constructed their own telescopes to watch the stars…

SAM_6073

Created their own planets, based on what they read about in books…

SAM_6071

Also constructed the moon: used everyday materials to make the shape of a circle and then painted it white by using glue, shaving foam and glitter!

SAM_6117

Their next mission: teddy bear visits the moon!
