 What in the World Happened Today | Health and Wellness, STEM | | | FILL THE BUCKET We encouraged movement and helped children gain a greater understanding of quantity by transferring sand from one container to another. As one container is filled and another emptied, children learn about more and less, weight and capacity. |  |

STEM, Visual and Creative Arts | | | MONOCHROMATIC ART Children explore tints and shades in colors as they use monochromatic supplies to create art. Today, we did this by creating collages using only one color. Children use their hands and fingers to manipulate the art supplies, while also learning to identify and differentiate slight similarities and differences in colors. Exploring colors and art is part of the Visual and Creative Arts element in our World at Their Fingertips curriculum, but also invites exploration of language, science, and math |  |  |

Language and Literacy, STEM | | | EXPLORING LIGHT & PRISM Children explored refracted light by observing light shown through a prism. As we created rainbows on the floor and walls, the children noticed the colors and movement of the light. This encouraged children to try to "catch" the light and sparked conversations about light, color, and shadow. |  |
