Two of our students brought gifts for everyone on Monday! What a great way to start the week. These girls are so caring to surprise us with great gifts! Everyone loved their stickers, notebooks, pencils, and play dough.
Speaking of exciting things, we dyed rice this week. We were very careful as we stirred the food dye into the rice, and we loved watching the rice turn into bright new hues! The fun continued after the rice dried, and we received a new light box for our classroom. We did our first experiment on our new light box by mixing our colored rice to create new colors.
During developmental play, we learn that when we work together, we can have more fun and create exciting new structures.
They love using boom whackers in music! Creating higher and lower pitches is a fun challenge.
Finally, we wrapped up the week with more collaboration. We matched upper and lower case letters by hiding snowball letters in the colored rice, and finding the match on the table. We worked in teams while thinking of different words for each letter. When we come together, we have so many new ideas.
As usual, we ended the week by reading with 2nd grade, but this time, we read in our classroom. We showed 2nd grade our new pets and our favorite books. 2nd grade also brought their favorite books from their classroom to share.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
