Monday we did our letter V project! We created vases out of our letter V's and had to add some flowers to it! Good listening, they all turned out great! All very unique! As well we went to mass this morning and did a great job listening to Father Suess and participating! We talked about how Jesus is our friend, how he made friends and how we can make friends the way that Jesus taught us to do so. Jesus taught us to be good friends to one another by sharing, loving one another for our differences and accepting everyone. We are learning to be more like Jesus! | |
| Tuesday we got a LITTLE messy in the morning! We created our own planets! We took 4 different colors of paint and marbles to created our colorful planets. We put our circle in the box with some paint and marbles. Then the objective was to move the marbles over the paper to create some type of pattern. Then they got to rotate and do all of the colors. As you can tell by the pictures my kiddos love getting messy with their work, MORE FUN! :) As well we practiced our Hail Mary prayer today in the morning and before going home, great job friends! :) We watched the video below to learn about the planets and the solar system beforehand. (there are other videos on the individual planets also) |
Wednesday we had our morning gym class with Mrs. Zellner and centers! We talked about who are teachers are and automatically the kids said Ms. Luce and Mrs. Johnson, but they needed to remember that mom and dad are also their teachers. One teacher that some figured out is Jesus! Jesus is our teacher, he is always teaching us through the word of God the way to live our lives and how we need to treat one another.
Egg Crack games!
1) Egg Break Sight Word Game - Materials needed: egg carton(s), plastic Easter eggs, and bananagrams letters.
2) Egg Break Color Word Game - Materials needed: egg carton(s), plastic Easter eggs, and bananagrams letters.
3) Egg Break Addition Equation Game - Materials needed: egg carton(s), plastic Easter eggs, and small slips of paper to write equations on.
4) Egg Break Subtraction Equation Game - Materials needed: egg carton(s), plastic Easter eggs, and small slips of paper to write equations on.
Easy to make and fun to play!
You can use the sight words from our sight word bag or do your own as they grow! :) The way to play is "cracking" the eggs open and try to unscramble the word inside. Super fun!!! :)

| Thursday we talked about star constellations and what they are - groups of stars that create pictures or shapes. We reviewed how to do two types of stars and then they were able to go back and create their own constellations. They were to draw multiple stars and then connect some to create different shapes, pictures of things, names, or constellations. Great job listening to directions friends! And then during nap Ms. Luce added some glitter and "milky ways" to their night sky/space pictures. :) |
Friday we made our Fizzy Planets! They loved it! Any type of science experiement that we do in here they are amazed and want to do at home! :) We formed a ball or a mound in the middle of the pan. We added dots of food coloring and some glitter to make it more like a cosmic planet. Then I gave each student a small dixie cup of vinegar. On the count of 3 they were able to pour it right in the middle of the "planet". This set off a chemical reaction which took a solid, to a liquid and created a gas through the fizzing. Then at the end the students were able to then stick their finger in the mixture. Before doing our experiement we talked about what we thought would happen to the ball/mound. Most of the responses were EXPLODE, or melt! I asked them to use their eyes and their ears when doing this. The planet was a solid when we first started, when we poured the vinegar on the top it melted it down into a liquid. While it was "melting" it was fizzing and giving off a gas. CHEMICAL REACTIONS ARE SO COOL! :) As well the kiddos want you to know that vinegar and even apple cider vinegar does not smell that good! haha!
To make a Fizzy Planet here is what you will need: a sheet pan (expands more - the deeper the pan the more liquid you can put on the "planet"), baking soda, water and vinegar! Combine a little water with baking soda (not too much, you can add more water if need be). Form a ball or a mound in the middle of the pan. You can add dots of food coloring and - fizzy jupiter's, centers and glitter if you want to make it more "cosmic like". :) Once this is done then take a small cup and have your child pour it on the center of the mound or ball. This will set off a chemical reaction.
