Gak and color mixing

By -
Since our colors of gak got mixed together yesterday we made more.  We talked about taking turns and having to be patient.  It takes a while for the gak to set once it is mixed.  But once it is ready it is so much fun!




A friend noticed that when we were mixing the blue gak on a yellow tray some of the liquid looked green.  "Blue and yellow make green!"  "Yellow mixed with yellow makes blue!"  Hmm.  So we decided to do some color mixing experiments to see what would happen.

Happy First Day!!! First days are filled with anticipation, nervousness, excitement, giggles, and so much more. Connections are forming. With each other, between materials, and new spaces. These connections will strengthen as time goes on and these connections fuel all that we do.  Each day we offer children the opportunity to engage with areas of our room. We wondered, "What can your hands make?" PV - "I made a dance floor! People can dance here" CC - "It's me! Legs and a my face"  We also wondered "What stories do bugs tell?"  Of course snack came and some were VERY excited for this part of our day.  EU - "My belly has been so hungry!"  BC - "I love snack"

Hands learn weight and texture, balance finds new pathways, and joy rises with each shared discovery. Snow invites patience, collaboration, and wonder a living classroom where nature leads, and children construct meaning one snowy moment at a time. Children were fascinated with our "old phone". They really wanted to make a call, so they called Miss Brooke who was in the other room!
