Our Car Ramp

Today we were making a car ramp outside. We learned lots about our play. We used puddles to clean our cars to reuse on the ramp. We had a problem where the cars were flying out the end of the ramp. We decided to use sand to stop the cars. Then we had another problem because the sand at the end created a type of sand ramp and the cars started flying over the ramp. We solved the problem by making the sand into a wall to stop the cars.

 We had another idea to create a high ramp at the beginning of the track so we didn't have to push the cars so hard. We used blocks of wood to make one end of the ramp higher.

Comparing Houses

On our Friday Surprise Day we have been looking at a variety of houses and what makes them similiar and what makes them different.  Our buddy and I made a house out of playdough.  We didn't peek at our buddies house while we created them but when we finished we compared our houses. 

"Our houses are different. Williams house is flat and my house isn't. Mine has a pathway that goes to the front door and to the pool. The waterfalls on my house starts from the roof. William's house has walls so does mine . William's has a bathtub and so does mine.  That is the same."
