A look in the Classroom.....
We are experiencing many fun things. We have a new center with a light board to learn mixing colors and shapes. This is very popular and we take turns. Friday was Science Day and WOW was it great. Lizzy Lizzard came to visit and while in the cage, her tail turned blue and her body got spots! That was fun to see as well as the bird nest Cole brought to show. Spur of the moment activities are some of the most teachable! Our planned science experiment was learning how it rains. (Not that we haven't had enough of that lately) We put water in a cup and added shaving cream to the top. Then with colored blue water in a dropper we added it to the shaving cream. When a cloud is full of moisture and can hold no more, it rains. The blue water seeped through the cloud and "rained" in the cup. Their faces were excited and their eyes so big! We'll be doing many more experiments in the weeks to come...
