Monday we talked about the life cycle of frogs! We made some accordian frogs! Frogs start off as eggs, then they turn into tadpoles. They then become "4K frogs" and then become adult or "big kid frogs." Great job working through the life cycle 4K friends! Your frogs have added some nice color to our classroom! :) |
| Tuesday we made a bunch of welcome cards for our newest friend Willow B that will be starting in 4K on May 3rd (next week Wednesday). We are all so excited to meet her and get to know her! Great job writing Welcome Willow to 4K! :) As well we had center time and continued to talk about greater than and less than - the alligator always eats the bigger number! :) |
Wednesday we had gym and centers. During gym they had to be astronauts and fly rocket ships! One person had to take the rocketship (hula hoop) across the parking lot and pick someone up. Then they had to continue until their whole team of four was in the hula hoop and get back to the start. They had to work as a team and use their words to see how they were going to accomplish this goal! Great job! | |
| Thursday we made sponge painted frogs. The students had to sponge paint their paper plates and frog feet. Then we added eyes and a silly red tongue to it when they were dry! We checked on our beans in the windows and some are really popping up! :) |
Friday we watched a video about frogs and learned more about them. They have no hair because they breathe through their skin, they need to live by water to keep their skin wet, they have gills when they are little and then eventually lose them. They are herbivores at the beginning of their lives and when they become adults they become carnivores. Then we did our "magic chalk" experiment. The squirt bottles didn't work out the best so we had more fun just pouring the chalk mixture onto the black top and then pouring the vinegar over the top to see the chemical reaction. Then after nap we took the rest of our ingredients and made a big "explosion" with the vinegar, baking soda, food coloring and cornstarch. |
