So, I'm still on my blogging break. I've been making a lot of progress for my research project. (If you are interested in what I am doing.... I am doing a meta-analysis of the evaluation of online training. If you have any research that you think I would be interested in looking at... please let me know!)


Anyway, I am still on the road a bit, this week I was in Escanaba and tomorrow I will be going to Menominee. We have been having a lot of "Sense"ational Learning Fun all over the U.P.!  As I promised in Escanaba- here is a list of links of interest:

Teach Preschool on Facebook. Deborah Stewart is amazing! She has over 23,000 folks who are interested in the field of early childhood following her page. It is worth joining Facebook just to follow her page to connect and network! (not to mention all of the other great ece folks on there!)

Sand and Water Tables. Tom Sensori has an amazing blog that revolves around the contraptions he creates for the sensory table.  Remember to let your children take things out of the table and provide materials to add additional exploration and planes of play.

"Sense"ational Learning Fun Pinterest Board. Have you found Pinterest yet?  It is an online social bookmarking site. I love it for saving ideas and inspiration from around the web. I have all kinds of other boards if you are interested in checking those out, but I am working on putting a board together that includes the ideas and recipes for each training session. That way, if you forget what something looks like or are too far away to come to the training, all of the blog post links are in the same place for you!

Okay... back to reading research.. So that I can come back to blog for real!  Until then, if these links aren't enough, check out the ever growing blog roll below!

What Would You Do With It? Wednesday #4, Cardboard Tubes (Toilet Paper, Paper Towel, etc)

By
Welcome to this week's edition of What Would You Do With It? Wednesday. This week's item(s) are paper tubes. You most often find them at the end of a roll of toilet paper or paper toweling. I'm having trouble hunting up the photos I was going to post for this, so when I find them, I will add them. We have made: rain sticks kaleidoscopes marble runs and we have also cut the tubes and made them into flowers or snowflakes like these. If you would like to visit and link to some of our previous What Would You Do With It Wednesdays, please click here.

Making Moon Mud!

By
We usually make our moon sand with cornstarch , sand, and baby oil. However a blog reader commented that when they make their moon sand- they use water instead of oil.  So, of course, my first thought was- why make moon sand when you could make MOON MUD?  And so you have it- our homemade moon mud! Basically, it ends up being a sandy- runny oobleck! It acts kind of like a solid- and kind of like a liquid..... Now, I'm sure I will get all kinds of questions on the exact recipe and proportions to make this stuff.....  The truth is, we rarely measure. We just mix it up until it looks and feels about right! Today, we made ours with too much water. (It was an experiment.) So, we removed some off the top.  After we were done playing in the mud- we let it sit. A little bit more of the water evaporated while we napped.... Then, this afternoon- It was perfect! Hard as a rock on the bottom, until you dig into grab it... Then....
