Show & Tell Celebration

Our Show & Tell Celebration today was so much fun! Everyone was so excited to share about his/her special item from home, and they did a wonderful job both sharing and listening to others share. You could have heard a pin drop in the room because they were so interested in their friends' special items. Each child shared three things about his/her item and then asked for questions (as you can imagine...some of the questions were pretty entertaining!).

 

We have been continuing our study of Force and Motion in science. This week, we have learned a lot about friction. We explored how differenct surfaces create friction using matchbox cars and ramps. We used bubble wrap, sand paper, felt, and wax paper. The kids also found other things in the room to use, too! They loved exploring this concept and learned so much. After exploring the matchbox car on wax paper, one child even said that he now knows why cars shouldn't drive when it's icy outside. We definitely have some budding scientists in our room!

Valentine's Day

We had a fun week celebrating Valentine's Day! The kids were very excited to exchange Valentines and cards with each other. As they were passing out Valentines to each other, one child remarked, "Wow, this must be how the mail man feels. This is a lot of mail to deliver!"

We have also been continuing our learning about forces and motion. Today, the kids explored how they were able to push air to set a ping pong ball into motion. They were amazed!
