Dear Families,

It all started with the book Zach’s Alligator!

Lucky for us, we have a Zach in our class and he has an alligator!:)  In fact, your child should have two alligators.  Yes, the kindergarten Science Fair Boot Camp experiment was sent home yesterday.  Boy, were our kindergarten scientists ever excited!  Each day, I will model the experiment in class so your child should have a pretty good understanding of what to do each night.  The experiment takes 7 days  so you will want to start soon.  Yes, I will be taking “Bridget” the class alligator (and main character in the book) home over the weekend and continue to post it growth on the blog.  In the past, we have found that kindergartners have had trouble with  measuring each dinosaur.  However, before you know it that we become easier too.

Here is Bridget on Day 1:  She is measuring at 2 1/2 inches long. (Yes, she is smaller than the dinosaurs that were sent home!)

As a class, we came up with this question.  We already put it on the science board.

Day 3:  Bridget grew!!  She now is 3 inches long.

Tomorrow we will work on the hypothesis.

Stay tuned for Bridget’s progress.

Have fun!

Ms. Wright
