Today we began preparing our room for Thanksgiving. Whenever possible, I include the children in the creation of different materials for our classroom. Doing this helps the children feel like they have ownership in their learning. Today, we dyed corn kernels for our "Thanksgiving Dinner" themed sensory bin. The children went "shopping" in the classroom looking for bowls, measuring cups and spoons to create our gem kernels. We then added vinegar, water, and liquid water color paint into the bowl with the kernels. We will work throughout the rest of the week to finish this project and watch the kernels change color.
