Last Month…
We learned about dogs and cats and different breeds of each. Some friends brought pictures of their pets to school and we displayed them on our Pet Pic Wall.
We had a great time at our Easter Party! We played fun games like Pin The Ear On The Easter Bunny and Easter Basket Bean Bag Toss. We went on an Egg Hunt and spent a lot of time looking for that tricky Easter Bunny.
We did the “Rubber Eggs-periment” by putting an egg in a jar of vinegar and observing what happens when the vinegar reacts to the calcium in the shell. We learned new words like dissolve, reaction, calcium, carbon dioxide, acidic, experiment, and hypothesis.
We explored with magnets and things that are magnetic and experimented with baking soda and vinegar explosions.
We popped corn with the top off the popcorn popper and used all our senses during this experience. We listened to it POP!, smelled the popcorn, watched the kernels fly out of the popper, felt it crunch in our hands and later tasted it for snack.
We participated in lots of cool art activities; Crayon melting on foil, sand art, salad spinner painting, crayon resist painting, impression painting, and free art with scissor practice.
This month we’ll plant flowers and veggies in our garden and learn about insects and reptiles.
