Working with Water

We are still exploring the language of water in the Acorn room. Lately, we have been focusing on the movement of water. There was an area today during Capers with blocks set up like inclined planes above a tub of colored water and eyedroppers. The children worked to squeeze the eyedroppers and get the water to flow down the ramp back into the tub.
We have a dog named Belle who lives next door to Ambrose. We see Belle almost every time we take a walk, and the children love to say hi to her. Belle's "mom" really enjoys seeing us, too, and last week she was kind enough to give the Seedlings and Acorns some little pumpkins! The Acorns have been very interested in the pumpkins, so today we added them to tubs of water and "washed" them. The kiddos loved it! Some stayed in the area for quite awhile, concentrating as they carefully ran the sponge over the pumpkin's curves. We are enjoying experimenting with all of the different ways to explore water!
