Making Friends

By -
One of the best parts of preschool is making friends.  We have been having a great time getting to know each other this fall and making friends.  The social skills that the kids are learning now will last them a life time.  The word "Preschool" could easily be substituted in the title of the well know book: "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten."   These kids are learning to share, take turns, wait (something most of the adults I know, including me, still have a hard time with), be kind, feel and show empathy, and so much more.  IT's been so fun to watch these kids play together and become friends.

 VINS: Sinking and Floating Hannah, from VINS, visited again today. This time she brought bins that we filled with water and the kids experimented with various objects to see if the object sunk or floated. Each pair of students was given two plastic lids that they were tasked with sinking. The students went from bin to bin, loaded their boats with different objects, and counted how many of each object (foam blocks, rocks, corks, washers...) caused their boat to sink. They found out that the large blue glass jewels only took two jewels to sink their boat whereas it took many more of the small multicolored jewels to do the same.  No matter how many foam blocks or corks they put on their boats, the boats continued to float.
