We explored the property of heat during our science lab today. We made predictions about what would happen to both a marshmallow and a bar of ivory soap if we added heat. We used our classroom microwave to conduct our experiment and look at our results…WOW!
We put on our lab coats and safety goggles today as we hit the science lab! We made predictions about what might happen to the M&M’s when we placed them into the warm water. Then conducted our experiment to find out if our predictions were correct! Many predicted they would melt while others predicted they would grow bigger. After our experiment, we found out that the color dissolved off of the M&M, but the M’s on the candies peeled off and floated to top.
Science is so much fun!
We are working on the book, This is My Mom this week in reading groups. It talks about all the different kind of jobs that moms have outside of the home. We are reviewing the sight word this, is, and my during our word work activities. Our new sight word this week is she and we have been introduced to the sound that the sh makes when put together. The children are doing an amazing job!
We ordered a variety of objects by size during math groups…we ordered them both from smallest to largest and back again. We also ordered them both horizontally and vertically. We loved the towers the best! Learning can be such fun.
We worked in partners and explored the concept of more and less during math groups.
We explored nonstandard units of measurement during small groups. During our measurement experiment we made predictions about how many “marshmallows” (large and small) long we thought each item would be. We tested our predictions and found the actual length of each item, then recorded it our math log.
We began reading the book, How Many Animals? today during reading groups. We reviewed the sight word see and began learning about syllables. We clapped out the syllables in our names, our friends names, and the animals names we read in our book. This is a simple game to play in the car on the way to and from school to help your child begin to identify the numbers of syllables in words. Happy Counting!
