Here are some of the highlights from last week:

We explored the scientific properties of bubbles. Several inventors invented their own bubble wands.  Others found ways to create bubbles in their hands by getting their hands wet and soapy.

Ewan’s dog, Elliott came in to visit us.  It was great to spend special time with Ewan’s mom and with Elliott.

We created labels for the different vegetation in our butterfly garden.

We watched several Painted Lady butterflies emerge from their chrysalises last week. On Friday we released the butterflies in our butterfly garden.

During centers we played a plant memory game where we matched scientific vocabulary with pictures. We had to use both our memory and concentration skills, and our decoding skills to play this game.

A few of us worked on planting vegetables in our kinder community garden. We planted onions, radishes, carrots, broccoli, and tomato plants. We also watered plants around our outside learning area.

During Writers’ Workshop we worked on writing individual stories. We discussed how to find our best learning spots during writing time and as a class we decided to listen to classical music during Writers’ Workshop. We enjoyed listening to music and creating our own stories!
