Friday's Exploring was "Inta" this world!!! We had an outta sight time though! As we prepare for our journey around the world to study the flora and fauna, the children made all sorts of awesome props to transform our center. They used their fine motor skills to cut on a spiral to make vines and branches for the rainforest. Trees were made from the paper towel, toilet, and wrapping paper rolls that were brought in, using paper mache. Leaves were traced, cut out and sponge painted. The igloo was dismantled to make icebergs for Antarctica. The continents were magnified and projected onto paper to trace, cut out and display on a giant world bulletin board in the Exploratorium. The water was created by little people feet painted with blue paint and dancing across paper. Mrs. McIvor had a room filled with instruments from around the world for the children to experience. The best was the snack, of course! A tortilla was literally painted with blue and green cream cheese to resemble the earth! After painting, the children rolled up their tortilla earth and enjoyed tasting their magnificent work. It was "Inta" this world!
Take a look!
