Small Group Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During Small Group Time this week, your child explored making bubbles (using water, dish soap, and a straw) as well as painting using the watercolor palettes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the bubble making small group students were using their scientific observation skills noticing what was happening. The children counted their bubbles as they popped them. As well as used comparison terms such as more or less developing their mathematic senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the watercolor explorations, students discussed color mixing and worked on procedure. Understanding they must dip their brush in the water and then in the paint to get the brightest color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
