Making 5 with friends! We subitized different groups of our friends and added to make 5. We all agreed that we need one more friend for this group!
Happy Friday! We still are loving our Valentine morning choices! I hope everyone has a wonderful and relaxing long weekend!
We met the Love Monster this afternoon! He lives in Cutesville and always wanted a friend and he finally meets a wonderful orange monster. We talked about how we all could be like Love Monster too.
Happy Birthday Bradley! Thank you Mrs. Sivak for reading us a Paw Patrol story!
Thank you Daniela for donating two Daniel Tiger books to our classroom!
The children also enjoyed a yummy snack of kisses, Oreos and Cupid Arrow (fruit on a stick!). Thank you Mrs. O'Koren for the Cupid's Arrows.
We had two Valentine science experiments today! Our second experiment was baking soda and vinegar chemistry. When the baking soda meets the vinegar, carbon dioxide is created and bubbles filled our hearts! Baking soda and vinegar have an acid based reaction, which results in the gas that creates the bubbles! We also loved using the pipettes to drop the vinegar - fun and tricky!
Love is in the air at in preschool and we’ve begun getting ready for Valentine’s Day by mixing up some Love Potion. This Valentine’s science activity is a fun way to learn about density and viscosity.I explained that the thick corn syrup was really dense, meaning that if we had the same amount (volume) of each of the liquids, the corn syrup would weigh the most. The liquid with the most mass per volume has the highest density. This dense liquid stays at the bottom while the least dense alcohol stays at the top. All liquids stay separate because they have slightly different densities. Some liquids were slow to pour, others poured faster showing the children the different viscosity properties of each liquid we used - corn syrup, water, rubbing alcohol, while milk, vinegar and dish liquid.
The children were in the Valentine mood today! They made Valentines for their friends, beaded heart necklaces, colored with heart shaped crayons and practiced scissor skills. It was fun having Mrs. Lombardo in the classroom with us for a visit!
The children enjoyed coloring hearts for every syllable on a list of Valentine words! Every time your jaw moves, it is a syllable!
Afternoon Enrichment had a fun literacy lesson counting syllables in Valentine words. We sorted the words by how many syllables they had.
