We started the day with centers and guided reading. This is our last week of this round of centers. Next week we will find out about new centers. After guided reading and centers we worked to finish a few leftover questions we still had on some of the science experiments from last week. We were trying to answer these questions: 1. Why did we need to use salt when we made ice cream? 2. What happened to our balloons when we took them outside? These questions were from two different experiments we did last week.
In math today we finished our counting by 5's problem and our practice page. If we were finished both of those jobs we got to practice our counting patterns on the computer. There are some great counting games at http://www.abcya.com/.
This afternoon we learned about a new project. We are going to be trying to insulate an "Arctic Buddy" to keep it from freezing in the Arctic. An Arctic Buddy is a waterbottle that we are pretending is a tiny human. Our goal is to find ways to insulate our buddy to keep the water body temperature even if we put it in the freezer. We are also trying to figure out how to keep them dry as well.
Then we had library. After that it was gym. Today in gym we did gymnastics. We are starting with mats and are trying to do the moves on different activity cards at each mat. Please make sure that you are wearing gymnastics appropriate clothing for the next few weeks. This means leaving jewelry at home and not wearing tights with feet.
Tomorrow is Fun lunch AND Pyjama day!!
