Legos and Lemons

The kids were so excited to come back to school and tell everyone all about their Christmas break and especially what Santa brought them!





























This week we talked about the letter L and reviewed our numbers, colors and shapes.

We stamped our letter Ls with legos



























On Wednesday and Thursday we tried lemons and limes

















































































Then we did an experiment to see what would happen if we squeezed the juice onto baking soda




We have also been completing assessments this week.  Parent Teacher conference sign ups are on the front window if you would like to see the results.

We had a great time discussing the first Thanksgiving at school this week.  We learned about the Native Americans and Pilgrims that created the thanksgiving tradition.  We made Native American headbands and had a giant feast.  Thank you everyone who donated food for our feast!








Dont forget we will be going on a field trip to Cinepointe 6 on Friday December 6.

Hot Hands

This week we learned about the letter H, the number 5 and different modes of transportation.

We started the week by turning our letter H into happy hippos.  After we learned what the H looked like, we had to figure out what sound it made.  The children quickly discovered that if you put your hand near your mouth while making the h sound it makes your hand hot.

We also discussed different modes of transportation this week.  We used a variety to get from place to place in the school.  On Friday, we made a hot air balloon and blew up a real balloon using baking soda and vinegar instead of our mouths.

Next week we will be talking about the letter I and Thanksgiving.

If you haven't got a chance to look at the Thanksgiving Feast sign up sheet and you would like to bring something to our feast, ask for the list at pick up or drop off.  The feast will take place on Monday November 25 and Tuesday November 26.  We will be out of school the rest of the week for Thanksgiving Break.

Science and Scarecrows

This week we learned about the letter G and the fall harvest.  We reviewed the number 2 and the shape triangle.

We also did a science experiment with candy.  We dissolved candy in water and added baking soda to see which candies are acidic.  Nerds exploded like a volcano!


On Friday we made scarecrow puppets.  The children loved making a puppet show with them at centers.
