Sapling Exploration of Gems

10/27/2016

0 Comments

 
 As we observed our Sapling friends playing and exploring their surroundings, we continued to see and hear themes surrounding "gems" appear. We saw friends playing with them in the fairy garden. We watched on as friends made mosaics and patterns out of gems. We noticed friends unpacking heavy themes, such as, who can play with gems; boys or girls or both? We observed friends talking about them in regards to power and beauty in dramatic play.

With all that talk about gems, we decided to start a month-long adventure with gems. Here are some of the places this adventure took us...

Pictured below, are friends exploring gems through patterns, reflections, light refraction, reading, making gem slime, read-alouds, making crystals, exploring gem-like paints in water, and visiting the rock and mineral exhibit at a museum!
