Welcome Spring Week!

This week was Spring Week!
 
On Monday we started our week by having a lemon/lemonade day!! We painted with lemons, squeezed lemons to make lemonade, wrote lemonade recipes and played our lemonade stand dramatic play!
 
 
 
 
WE MADE LEMONADE!  We had a taste test as well...you can see the graph below to see who LIKED/DIDN'T LIKE our lemonade!
 
 
 
We completed lemon observation sheets and weighed/graphed lemons...
 
 
We even cut open lemons and added lemon juice and lemonade Kool-Aid to our water table!  It smelled so good, we used it for a couple days!!!
 
 
 
We finished our journal entry from last week and drew our rainbows...
 
 
 
To continue our lemon unit, we even recognized numbers and counted that many lemon-yellow
pom poms to put on our lemon trees.
 
 
 
We also used our journals to draw our own chicks and write the word "chick" !
 
 
 
On Tuesday we made shredded paper birds nests in art! :) So cute!!!
 
 
Our cut and paste chicks...
We are doing a lot of fine motor skills so this activity we had to cute the big yellow circle and two smaller white circles to make the body and eyes of the chick!
 
 
DISSOLVING PEEP EXPERIMENT!
That's right...those cute little sugar peeps!...We picked five different liquids and hypothesized what would dissolve the peeps the fastest!  We even smelled the vinegar and they thought it was GROSS!
 
This was Day 1...
Wednesday
 
 
 
Day 2...
Thursday
 
 
Day 3...
Friday
 



Our Laundry Detergent peep was almost completely dissolved by Friday!!!!
 


 
Can't wait to see what the peeps look like on Monday!!
 
Flower Observations!
Petals on Penn has been gracious enough to bring us flowers every couple of weeks for science exploration!  Thanks Susan!
 
 
Yumm...Jelly Bean sorting!
 
 
We worked SUPER hard on our numbers this week!  We counted the number of spring objects on the left and traced the number on the right.  We also discussed the difference between a letter S and a number 5, since sometimes we will write a number s instead of writing a 5!
 
 
We used our Alphabet bugs to match our capital and lowercase letters!
 
 
Miss Vanessa's husband, Dan found us a cool bird's nest, which we observed and drew in our journals!!!
 
 
PEEPS!  We even painted with them...
 
 
 
We even counted numbers on peeps and placed the correct number of beans on each numbered peep!
 
 
 
We even cut straws in the sensory tub!!  We had so much fun :)
 
 
 We worked on the letter Yy this week!
 
What a great job we did!
 
 
 Happy Spring
