Floating Egg
On Monday, we did a floating egg experiment! When we put a raw egg in a cup filled with plain water, the egg sank to the bottom of the cup. When we put a raw egg in a cup filled with salty water, the egg floated to the top! There were times when the egg did not float to the top even when we put in lots of salt. Then we realized that the salt needed to be dissolved in the water!
Virtual Traveling
In honor of spring break, we traveled virtually around the world on a Tuesday morning. Our first stop was of course Buckle My Shoe, because the teachers and 3A friends missed school so much! But afterwards, we virtually traveled to Paris (Barak & Sloane), Big Ben (Leo), Washington Market Park (Elle), Brazil (Manu), Museum of Natural History (Sebastian), Mexico City (Alex), Panama City (Francesca), New Delhi (Maya), and Poland (Henry)!
Counting Objects in Our Homes
On Wednesday, we went on a hunt for a number of objects that were the same kind around our homes. First we found two objects that were the same. Then we found five, nine and eleven objects that were the same. Our 3A friends were becoming experts at counting objects one by one!
Little Blue and Little Yellow by Leo Lionni
For Thursday morning meeting, we read a book called Little Blue and Little Yellow by Leo Lionni. This book was about two best friends; little blue and little yellow, realizing that they turned green when they hugged each other! After the read aloud, Clare mixed two colors of our friends’ choice and made cool new colors!
Character Tea Party!
Our Friday morning meeting was so much fun because we dressed up as a character and had a tea party! Clare wore a ‘Super Girl’ mask, and Erika wore a ‘Monkey’ face painting. Barak dressed up as a ‘Storm Trooper’, and Sloane dressed up as a ‘Girl named Elsie’. Leo wore a ‘Lion’ mask, and Henry wore a ‘Spiderman’ mask. Alex dressed up as ‘Belle’ dress from the Beauty and the Beast, and Elle dressed up as ‘Fancy Nancy’. Maya wore a ‘Kimono’ and her ‘Dinosaur Backpack’ that she made out of boxes, and Manu dressed up as an ‘Owlette’ from PJ Masks. Francesca moved to her new apartment, so she decided she would wear either her ‘Dory’ or ‘Sheep’ costume once everything became unpacked!
