We started our week off with a fun little science experiment. The Preschool Scientist are wondering... WHAT makes a peep dissolve? We graphed our predictions onto some chart paper and this is what we think...
Water: Sage, Eloise
Juice: Jack, Sean K.
Vinegar: Charlotte, Faline
Soda: Sean H., Michael, Omar
Laundry Detergent: Tessa, Aurora, McClellan, Benjamin, Caleb, Sam
I thought that overnight we would have our answer, but I guess peeps are more indestructible than I thought! We have left them all week, and there's only a slight sign of ONE peep beginning to dissolve The scientist will check back in on Monday when (hopefully) we'll have our answer! Not exactly "spring" oriented, but it's preschool after all and we need to have some fun!
We continued to work on our letter identification, number identification, and handwriting this week. The P.M class is really gearing up for Kindergarten. They have been taking responsibility for their own number packets by getting them from their baskets at the beginning of group time and putting them away in their baskets after we're done. Impressive!
I brought in a birds nest I found in my garage along with a three sided bird house (brought to you by the fine craftsmanship of Mr. Reid!). We began talking about birds. My hope is to mount this three sided bird house onto the window so we can get an up-close view of the bird(s) inside! We have started discussing what we already know about birds and what we would like to find out by watching.
We made some tulips as part of our art project on Thursday. We will hang our beautiful tulips along with some rain drops out in the hallway on our seasons bulletin board.
Looking forward to some spring time weather.
Mrs. Reid
