Note: Today, just focus on them building and getting used to working in this group together.]]> 2017-02-17 01:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/blust018/4t6werdtol50/wish/154503396 blust018 https://padlet.com/blust018/4t6werdtol50/wish/154503736 Day 2: Continue building submarines with wooden blocks. On this day, we added artistic paper and materials to expand on their submarine building]]> 2017-02-17 02:01:04 UTC https://padlet.com/blust018/4t6werdtol50/wish/154503736 blust018 https://padlet.com/blust018/4t6werdtol50/wish/154503903 Day 3: Continue building submarines with wooden blocks.
On this day, work with the children in seeing different kinds of submarines and noticing details that the children put on their own submarine structures.]]> 2017-02-17 02:02:39 UTC https://padlet.com/blust018/4t6werdtol50/wish/154503903 blust018 https://padlet.com/blust018/4t6werdtol50/wish/154504243 Day 4: Continue building submarines with wooden blocks.
During this small group time, work on children seeing other group members details they are adding to their submarines.  Also, adding music to experience.  This will support their response to the imaginary play experience.

Note: On 2/15, my group used songs from the Brave heart soundtrack to expand their play. In this imaginary play experience, they saw humback whales, blue whales, sharks, and fish of all kinds swimming by their submarines. Also, when the music got a little louder and more serious, the children imagined that their were sea monsters near their submarines. So, they needed to escape and get to safe grounds. As some children were leaving this spot in the ocean, another child was protecting the submarines from the mean and icky sea monsters!]]> 2017-02-17 02:05:38 UTC https://padlet.com/blust018/4t6werdtol50/wish/154504243 blust018 https://padlet.com/blust018/4t6werdtol50/wish/166450144 Day 5: Continue building submarine with the wooden blocks.

With this cardboard submarine, the children can color on the cardboard; glue and tape art materials onto the submarine to add details, and   ]]> 2017-04-16 04:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/blust018/4t6werdtol50/wish/166450337 blust018 https://padlet.com/blust018/4t6werdtol50/wish/166450658 Day 8: Finish our cardboard submarine.  The children will use ideas that they have previously used on their block submarines and add them to the group cardboard submarine.  

With this cardboard submarine, the children can color on the cardboard; glue and tape art materials onto the submarine to add details; and use materials from the classroom to expand on their ideas for the submarine.   ]]> 2017-04-16 04:14:58 UTC https://padlet.com/blust018/4t6werdtol50/wish/166450658
