Up and Down and Down and Up the ramp.

 A  ramp built with large blocks was a popular spot in the classroom this week. Children invented many ways to travel up and down the ramp. The activity was a  great way to learn about turn taking, risk taking and cooperation. In addition children experimented with the force of gravity and traction, noting the difference between traveling down on their bellies, backs, sideways, walking and sliding.

Magical milkweed

 It started with one little milkweed seed floating away from the seed table.

 The children realized that they could make the seed move with their breath.

 Soon, the excitement caught on.

It was a flurry of white fluff and happy squeals as the milkweed seeds were dispersed in the classroom.
