This week...

Believe it or not, the water in our vase  (that was originally an ice cube) is gone! With this observation, we discussed the water cycle. We learned about precipitation, accumulation, evaporation, and condensation. We sang a song to help us learn these scientific words, we read a book called “Down Comes the Rain”, and we moved like water in the phases of the water cycle. We also experimented with water by sorting objects that sink from objects that float. 

The children continue to discuss states of matter as well. On our way to the park, we saw a man delivering water to the local businesses and one of our youngest students proclaimed “Look at the liquid truck!” We all turned to see bottles of beverages pictured on the side of the truck. 

As a follow up from our human body exploration, we discussed how to keep our bodies healthy through sleep, exercise, drinking water, and by eating healthy. We practice learning five food groups by sorting foods. 

The kindergarteners had their first publishing party this week. They bravely and confidently read their stories to their parents. We couldn’t Be more proud of our young authors!

We also have many new works in Practical Life. The children are building their fine-motor, concentration, and independence through scrubbing a baby, pouring and then spooning, and pouring from one container into three to name a few. We also introduced more glass into the classroom as our friends learn to be careful with the materials. 

We had a very busy week!
