We are working on bones, inspired by the use of x-rays in our light cube. If parents have bones or fossils they'd like to send in (with instructions for care), we'd love to learn more about them. Given that we were looking at Alligator teeth last week, a jawbone from a herbivore would be lovely for comparison.
We are starting our cooking program on Tuesday next week. I've tapped a couple of parents for this week, but if you'd like to be involved, perhaps we could set up a rotating schedule? We're making apple crisp this time. Future recommendations for healthy recipes are eagerly requested as well.
I'm also hoping to get a rotating schedule of play doh makers. If a couple of parents can make a batch a month for the class, we would be very grateful.
Thursdays seem to be particularly great days in the classroom. Here are some of the things we learned about today:
 |
| Our student teacher, Mr. Alegria, facilitates discussion at the light cube about the different bones in your body. |
 |
| This is your skeleton in Kindergarten |
 |
| We're counting from 1 to 10 and putting the right number of pumpkin seeds on each pumpkin. |
 |
| Jack O'lanterns at the play doh centre. Students also made "pumpkins with seeds inside" and a skeleton out of sticks.. Emma noted that the more seeds inside, the bigger the pumpkin. |
 |
| The sandtable changed. There's all sorts of shells, coral and a 3-D wooden dinosaur skeleton to explore. |
 |
| Using paintbrushes like archeologists to clean the sand off of the artefacts |
 |
| Some of this food is pretty expensive. |
 |
| Ms. Moniz reads to a captive audience |
