This past week was full of play and observations. On Monday, we started off the week by collecting leaves with our infant b friends. We all gathered together and went to Washington market park, at the park the children began their leaf hunt! The children seemed to like how the leaves felt on their hands and were amazed by the colors. We also had the opportunity to see the leaves falling from the trees!
“Wow'“ -Millie while looking at the leaf.
“More” -Una while putting the leaves inside our zip lock bag.
Tuesday was a very busy but fun day for the students! We all gathered with our 1B friends in the morning for Spanish. Of course, being in a new classroom with new friends and teachers was something new for our friends but they sure enjoyed listening to the Spanish songs. After Spanish we also had Cooking with Diane!! It was really exciting making our apple salad, children enjoyed squeezing the lemon along with mixing and eating the salad itself! We also took time to analyze and look at apple seeds along with the apple’s core.
Wednesday we all gathered as a class to make our experiment “fizzing colors”. We all sat down and began by smelling and touching the baking soda, children then decided on what color to add. We made three different experiments using the three different colors children decided. The children then helped pour the vinegar into the baking soda! When they observed the chemical reaction these two elements had they were all amazed and continued to add more vinegar!
“More” -Cleo, after pouring the vinegar into the baking soda
“Purple” -Dillon, after asked what color he would like
“purple” - Cleo, after asked what color she would like
“wow” Millie, while observing the chemical reaction.
“Bubbles” - Dillon, while observing the chemical reaction.
On Thursday because of our tremendous love for babies we decided to draw on them! Our friends Cleo and Millie sure enjoyed this!
“nose”- Cleo, while drawing on the babies nose
“eyes”- Cleo, while drawing on the babies eyes.
We then followed up by enjoying the beautiful weather outside, of course, we took our babies with us! We enjoyed the weather by going to the pier. Our friend Millie enjoyed the sound of nature and the breeze so much that she decided to take a nap!
On Friday we began our morning by painting with watercolors! Our friends were painting all by themselves following the three steps: 1. wet the brush 2. choose a color 3. Paint on the paper. Children used three different brushes and observed the different strokes each brush left.
After gym because of our love for cars we decided to paint with them!! Our friends enjoyed squeezing the paint out and experimenting the paint using their toes, hands and body! They really enjoyed rolling the school bus and cars over the paint and observing the marks it left behind.
