UP on the rooftop.....

Is where the children play! Today we started our new expedition and the BEST part is that we got to go UP ON THE ROOOFFFFFFFF!!!!! It was hands down one of the coolest things I've ever done. And they LOVED it. They had so many awesome observations and questions. I was so proud of them!! I really enjoyed looking down through our skylights and actually getting to understand how they open and closed! I had no idea that they were dome shaped and that our shades actually become flat! Our new expedition seems like it will really get them excited about their environments and will also help them to think and act like a scientist. I'm hoping that at some point I'll get to use the things I learned in my developmentally appropriate science book! While I think they're a little confused about how what their learning in science class eventually it will all work out... Even if it doesn't happen while I'm no longer at... ANDDDD we're not finishing that sentence!
