The Environment is the Third Teacher

Our classroom has the hottest outdoor space.  The sun seems to shine there all day long.  Now that the weather has cooled down, we have opened up the doors all day long for the children to explore their outdoor environment.  We have put out the water table and also a painting table.  Needless to say, the children LOVE it!

On the painting table we introduced different types of sponge paint brushes.  Retal figured out that she could stamp rectangles with her brush.

Malath used the circle sponge brushes to do a self portrait

Iman enjoyed experimenting with the different sized circle brushes.

Ahmad explored color blending to see what colors he could make.  He ended up with a rainbow effect.


Roaa, Juwana, Hamudi and Hashim loved the water table.  They were busy measuring the water, pretending to water flowers, and singing songs together!
