SmartBoard opposite Computer

We played with a new program that follows along with our nursery rhyme this week...
Jack and Jill!


 We added, by drawing, the things that were missing on the hill!


We also wrote words that rhyme with hill!

Discovery Day

With all the rain we have had, we tried to make our own rain!
First we filled a class container with very hot water.


Then we added ice to the bowl on top of our hot water.


While we waited for a few minutes, we discussed how water has its own cycle.
We also discussed how water can be a liquid, solid, and a gas.


 After a few minutes, we looked at the bottom of our plate...
and WOW!!!
There was rain forming on the bottom of the plate!
We also discussed how condensation is very similar to rain and how both are formed
in a very similar manner.


We also read this book, The Rain Came Down, to start off our discussion on rain.

BUT, as cool as rain is... we are ready for it to end!

APPLE CRISP!

In today's cooking class, children participated in making apple crisp.  We used apples our friend Nathan picked from a local orchard and brought in to share with us.  The children cut the apples, mixed the ingredients, and enjoyed eating the finished product.  Be sure to ask your child about the story they heard called, "The Little Red House".  We sent a copy of the story home to share with you.
