Exploration Centers

Making designs on the light table.

Which rock is heavier?

This year we are trying something new in the mornings. We are starting most of our days with exploration centres. During this time we are focussing on looking closely at objects, questionning,
 wondering, connecting, and collaborating. We are learning to be scientists and mathematicians. We are also building our fine motor skills by drawing, cutting, building with plasticine and playdough,  tracing, and printing.
