It was another fun water play day for the Oak friends! Water squirters, colored ice, discovering a praying mantis, bubbles, and laying out on our towels were some of the highlights.
During lunch, the children shared their favorite part of water play day.
Hillel – “I liked relaxing in the sun.”
Olivia – “I liked to lay down and relax in the sun. I love rainbow ice too.”
Renn – “I like getting squirted. I liked the sparkly water.”
Ari – “Squirting people.”
Chai – “Doing the squirters.”
Rochel – “Do the color ice.”
Millie – “Playing with the rainbow ice and going in the bubble water.”
Leon – “Coming inside.”
Jane - “When we were squirting the fence.”
Ezra – “Put soap in the water.”
Sammy. - “Squirting the fence.”
While the children were sharing their favorite water play activities. A student asked, "Why do we do water play?" Many children responded with their thoughts on why we do water play.
Hillel - “Because it is fun. We learn to not squirt people, if they don’t have a squirter.”
Millie – “Because it is hot and we want to go outside and be cooled down.”
Renn – “We learn to to only squirt on this side and not this side. Also, just to have fun!”
Sammy – “Because there is sun out.”
Ezra – “Too move the bubbles.”
Leon – “Because Ms. Mahern said it is water day.”
Rochel – “Because it is so fun!”
Jane – “Because we like being in the shade and it is so relaxing,”
