The Ugly Duckling

 

Today we started a new unit called ” On the Pond .” I didn’t realize I had so many materials for this unit.  Our day was busy !  The children had a buzz all morning as they explored all the different materials .

The fish are for  counting .  We put some in our makeshift pond. The kids were using fishing poles to ” fish ” but couldn’t pick them up.  We put metal tacks on the end and now they can.  It was a great little unexpected science lesson in the middle of the day.

Blue rocks on a silver  platter.  The turtle next to the platter has a dice inside.  The children roll the dice to determine how many blue ( water ) rocks they should remove from the pond.

The tricky dilemma of the day. How did that orange vest get in the tree? Wind ? Squirrel ? And how can we get it down ? The children were problem solving .” We can stand on each others shoulders. We can get a ladder . We can take our blocks and make a path up to the vest. Maybe a leprechaun put it up there and he will come take it down. ” So.. the mystery is still not solved. How…. did it get up there? But really..
