Last week we removed the corn kernels from some ears of corn. This week, we put the kernels in our sensory table to examine. Using small shovels, Avi, Lindsey and Hillary fill cups with the kernels. Children constantly use materials to learn about their world. As they work with the kernels, they begin to notice something about them that reminds them of something they already know. As he makes a connection to something familiar, Avi uses the kernels symbolically to represent cupcakes and offers them to the teacher
