Dinosaurs (continued)
Our 3A friends continued to explore dinosaurs this week. On Monday, we read one of our favorite dinosaur books, Pete the Cat: Cavecat Pete by James Dean. Our children talked about the characters, the setting, the problem, and solution of the story. On Wednesday, we discussed things that we would want to learn more about dinosaurs, and also made dinosaur eggs with baking soda, water, and food coloring. Then we used vinegar to hatch the eggs!
Dolphins & Elephants
On Tuesday, we read a book about dolphins and learned about their habitat, food, babies, enemies, and communication. On Thursday, we saw African elephants and Asian elephants from a book, and talked about how they were different. Then Erika and Caleb (Erika’s nephew) demonstrated a science experiment called “Elephant Toothpaste” by first adding hydrogen peroxide and food coloring in a jar, then putting yeast in the mix.
Our Feelings
On Friday, we revisited our feelings. Our old puppet friends Harry and Kitty helped us identify our feelings as we stayed at home due to Covid19. Leo, Francesca, Elle, and Alex shared that they felt happy because they were able to spend time with their mommies and daddies at home all day. Barak shared that he didn't want to stay home for a long time, but wanted to go back to school. Sloane shared that she felt mad and angry because of coronavirus. Manu shared that she felt hungry and shy.
