During our "water week," friends got engaged in working with activities involving water and learning the different properties of water. It wasn't just about swimsuits and splashing outside this time (although we did that too), but exploring different ways that water affects materials and how it feels in different contexts.
The science of oobleck (water + corn starch)...
Water, oil, and food color experiment...learning about density!
Making music through pipes under water...
Watercolor dripping using droppers...
Enjoying water pools and water play outside...
Learning about evaporation and absorption and putting the learning to practice by painting with water, watching it darken the paper, and then disappear through evaporation...
Learning about reversibility (freezing and melting) through fun with ice cubes...
Learning about frozen foods brought in by a friend to share...
Branham Park Field Trip!
No words needed, the pictures will speak a thousand words! Enjoy!
On our walk we talked about roads, rules, litter, trees, safety, and read lots of signs and symbols that we came across...
It was indeed one of the most fantastic trips on our list! Friends still keep asking about going there again...we all had a blast!
All our friends were so interested in learning all about the sand and beach and oceans. This will surely be weaved into our curriculum!
Keep seeing y'all around,
Hugs,
Teacher Rashida
