A Peek into our Classroom…

Experimenting, Predicting, and Drawing Conclusions

We have been participating in some exciting science experiments in our classrooms over the past few weeks. Most recently; children explored baking soda and vinegar and made predictions about what they thought would happen when the two ingredients were combined. After making their predictions children used eye droppers to drop small amounts of vinegar onto the baking soda to see what happened!

S.T.E.A.M

One of the many skills we work on daily in our classroom is problem solving with materials and creative problem solving. This week we read the story “Harry and the Hot Lava” and brain stormed things we could use or build to keep safe if our floor turned into lava like in the story. Children used tape, glue, scissors, cardboard, foam pieces, bottle tops, and pipe cleaners to build contraptions to stay out of the lava!

Measuring

One of the math skills we have been working on is measuring. In the beginning we focus on learning standard measuring techniques such as; starting at the end of the object you want to measure, placing what you are using to measure right next to each other without leaving any space, as well as recording our results using graphic organizers.
