Spring

Welcome back to our blog!!

Here is an overall view of the last few weeks.

Spring is in the air. 

 Here we are listing  thoughts that come to mind when we here the word spring.

Hannah- Flowers

Chana- Leaves

Aiden- Sun

Amanda- Butterflies

Morah Yehudice- Parks

Morah Stephanie- Bugs

                                                        
                                                What do we need to plant grass?
                                                                Chana -Sun
                                                                Aiden- Dirt
                                                               Amanda- Seeds
                                                               Hannah- Water
                                                                
                                        Amanda started to fill our water table with water

                                               Chana begins to add soil to the planting tray

                                                   Aiden is beginning to add the grass seeds

                                     
                                                   Amanda,  Jordan and Hannah are settling the seeds into the soil

                                  When we came back to school after a few days look what we found.....

                                                                  Our grass grew!!!!

                                            We are measuring the grass to see how much it will
                                            grow overtime

How many pieces of grass can we pick and how tall are they?

                                                                   Spring Literacy

In our literacy center we are identifying new words that relate to plants and trees.

Fruit Salad

We had a super time making a fresh fruit salad.

When Morah asked what all the fruits have in common, everyone said that they ALL HAVE SEEDS

                                                                 We peeled our fruits

                                                     We cut them up into 1/2's 1/4's and 1/3's

                                                  

                                                 When it was all done  we had it for dessert.

                                                            
                                                                          Fun in the sun

                                                          We love having fun in the sun.
                                                         We wait patiently for our turns on the
                                                          swings and slide.

                                           We love to sing our L-I-N-E  U-P song when
                                            its time to line up.

                                                Last year we found a turtle back here, I wonder
                                                what we'll find this year.

                                                   Jordon and Sammy love balancing
                                                                    on the stumps

                                                        Enjoying more seasonal fruits

                                            Everyone served themselves 3 pieces of fruit to start

We  had a great time doing a science experiment. 

We were able to see how water travels from the root up the stem to help the petals bloom.

We added some coloring to the water so that we can see it in the "tubes" of the stems.

It was so exciting to see our friends expressions when the petals changed colors.

                                                                       

                                                                            Adding the color

                                         Aiden decided to mix some colors

                                              
                                                    Which flowers have more petals?
                                                     What are these flowers called?

                                   We were able to identify a rose and a sunflower.
                                     Most of the children said a rose has more petals.

 What is new and growing outside???

                                             A rainy day who says you can't go out and play?

                                                                   blending colors

                                                                    Hannah spelled her name

We once again had a special visit from Mat Man.  He helped us review our numbers and body awareness.

We all had fun singing our mat man song as we worked together to build him from head to toe.

 Once we completed Mat Man we all went to our seats and drew our very own picture of mat man.

                                          This activity helped us work on our fine motor skills.

                                                 Aiden had fun dressing his mat man.
