Look as the north & south poles are attracted to each other:)
Darius is repelling the magnets by placing 2 of the same magnetic poles together.

Which color should I choose to decorate my hands?

Seriously Sister Cuenca, another picture?

Today we had a fun time learning about magnets! Darius & Lorien really caught on fast and surprised me at how much they really comprehended. I gave them each 2 magnets and they were given a variety of things to see if their magnets would pick them up- things like a pencil, fork, key chain, keys, etc...

The magnets would not pick up the keys, but could pick up the key chain, I asked them why this was & Darius was quick to reply, "because the keys to do not have iron in them and the key chain does!" It's nice to know they were paying attention:)

We also made Thanksgiving Place mats today! They traced their hands and used them as leaves on their "Thankful Tree", then we laminated the trees to use as place mats for the Holidays.

When we were at closing circle time, Darius demonstrated some dance moves he's been working on. Lorien joined in & Anne just enjoyed the show! Lorien has some crazy dance legs going on, they both of them are having a blast!
