We began using Center signs this week to see how many are allowed at one center. The children are taking an active role in organizing our schedule. This and walking in line and other skills will help in Kindergarten.
Science was fun as we watched capsules grow in our water cups during Ocean week. The children were anxious to see what grew with water in the cup. As we moved on to our Rainforest unit, we put a dried plant in water to see what happens. When it is submersed in water, the plant opens and becomes a fern. Many of these are in the rainforest. When the plant dries out it goes dormant again.
We'll see the result on Monday!
Rainforest week was fun as we made rainsticks, fun snakes and a collage of things from the rainforest.
Cole brought in his spider book to share with friends.
Many have been working hard on Reading.
Our Reading Group works on beginning words during our quiet reading time.
Sharing books and re-telling stories is all part of the language process and is essential for learning to read.

And at the end of centers, we are a team cleaning our room!
