We had so much fun learning about space this week!
We blasted our spaceships off today using water, alka seltzer and a film canister.  We made edible rocket ships.  We learned about all the planets and the sun.  We took turns walking like an astronaut on the moon.


Next week our theme is spring/plants!


I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!

This week we learned all about the weather.  The students participated in many fun experiments!  We used prisms to find rainbows, and microwaved a bar of Ivory soap to make a cloud. We went outside and caught the wind and made a rain cloud in a cup! We also learned some safety tips for bad weather.

Next week we will learn about space.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!!

We have had a blast the last 2 weeks.  Last week our theme was Dr. Seuss.  We read many Dr. Seuss books like; Hop on Pop, The Cat in the Hat, The Foot Book, Green Eggs and Ham, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish,  and Fox in Socks.  We all tried green eggs and ham, and we took a vote: YES we liked it or NO we did not.

This week we celebrated St. Patrick's Day.  We had a grand parade and dressed in Green!  We made hats and shakers for the parade! We learned about Ireland too.  We also had a sneaky Leprechaun come and make a mess in our room!  Before we left we made Shamrock Shakes! They were so good! YUM!!!!!
