Exploring corn on the cob

Welcome back Lily!

And Welcome to the JN Family Brianna!

Our group discussion was about corn on the cob today!

We discussed what we had talked about on Monday with the sensory table corn

The children came up with a few ideas on what corn on the cob is like;

It is slippery, really cold and soft.

You can eat it at Grandma's house :)

It grows TALL and has silk.

It grows on a stalk, and you can feed it to deer, fish, squirrels and even dinosaurs!

It can be cooked, and it can get slimy

Shucking corn is GREAT for the fine motor skills!

While painting with it we learned that it can be rolled, and is slimy.

And Ari exclaimed that he was "going crazy with it!"

Corn exploration is so FUN!!

Corn discoveries

We talked about corn today!

Each week we will have a different Study come fall.

I decided to make my own corn study this week.

During our discussion times, the children came up with many things about corn

Skylar said the corn felt soft

Kate said it looks like popcorn and can be fed to bears

Frankie can balance the corn

We learned that the corn can bounce!

Lucy said it feels good in your hands

The children also came up with a few more things about corn.

It is yellow, can be scooped, eaten when cooked, and can be gathered!

We read a short story that showed where corn comes from

Ask your children what they learned about corn this week!

Frankie shared a new book with us as well.

The children really enjoyed it!

We practiced some of the moves in the book

Then we went outside to use the tunnels and bouncy balls, just like in the book!

Thank you Frankie (and family) for sharing this book with us!

It gave us more discussion ideas as to what else can bounce besides corn!
