Track and Field Day

Careers

As a class we learned about different careers and each child made a life-size picture of them and what they wanted to be when they grow up! This project took three days, but the kids absolutely loved it!

Oobleck

During our learning about Dr. Seuss we read Bartholomew and the Oobleck. The kids loved the story and after we finished we made oobleck and we got to play with it! The fun thing about oobleck is when you play with it, it gets hard, but once you stop it oozes right out of your hand!

Wonders of the Rainforest

Today we went to a presentation called "Wonders of the Rainforest." This show allowed us to learn about and meet some animals who are from the rainforest! We met five different animals! First we met a macaw, then a iguana, next a tarantula, then an albino python (Ms. Eddy did not like this one at all, haha!), and last we met a cute coatimundi. Pictures of the animals are posted below! The kids and I really enjoyed the show and meeting all of the animals, and learning how we can save the rainforest so these animals can survive!

Penguins

Last week we learned all about penguins, made our very own penguin, and made a penguin book where we got to be the author and illustrator! We learned about some different types of penguins (emperor, king, fairy, macaroni, black-footed, chinstrap, rockhopper, and adelie), we learned that the penguins favorite thing to eat is krill, and that penguins cannot fly, but they are very good swimmers! Here is a link where you can watch live penguins: http://www.calacademy.org/webcams/penguins/

Ask your child about Pierre the penguin!

Puffy Paint Snowmen

Here are our puffy paint snowmen that we made! The kids enjoyed the puffy texture the "paint" had. If you would like to try this at home the recipe is simple: combine equal parts shaving cream and Elmers liquid glue, then mix together to start creating your masterpiece!
