Making a new paper!
Making new paper is an idea from the children when we discussed how to save the planet. To support their ideas, we then showed them how to make the paper from YouTube. After watching YouTube, we invited them to collect the materials that we needed, such as recycling paper, dry towers, a blender, a frame (to make a deckle), and window screening. The children were so excited and amazed that they could make new paper with recycled paper. Now, they are trying to make paper in different colors. They are not just busy with their ELC concert practice, they also had a lot fun making paper. What a busy and fun week.
After making the new paper, they shared:
“It’s smell like paper”.
“It’s different then paper we have.”
“It’s so rough”.
“It’s not soft.”
“It’s still wet.”
"It smell funny."
The children were so sad that we can't make it to the beach clean up. However, we will try to arrange a different day to go before the summer break. Meanwhile, we asked to children what else we can do to save the planet. They shared :"turn off the light we go to the playground", " turn off the water when you are using it." and "clean everywhere when you see trash". We are so proud of our Sr preschool to have many ideas to save the planet.
This week, the children have been busy practicing songs and a story for the ELC concert. To make connections and means towards their learning, we discussed how we should make a head band for tomato song and costumes for the fire truck song. They also decorated the invitation card to invite their parents to join next Friday. The children have been working very hard and were busy this week. Hope you will enjoy the concert next Friday.
