How exciting to come back to so many new works (Thanks to Ms. Karla who worked so hard on Friday)
*Water works (pouring and transferring)
*Water Works- color mixing
*Pumpkin scrubbing, and more
*Monday- We learned about Christopher Columbus, reviewed the world map and globe. We now have 2 new "ship works" which explore the parts of an old ship like the Nina, Pinta, or Santa Maria
*Wednesday- our 5K field trip was fun and educational (click here for link to field trip photo album) (Google Photos)
*Thursday- We had fall fun, sorting, counting and graphing leaves. We read the Leaf Man by Lois Ehlert and created our own leaf people. Leaves and pine needles that we collected will be available for creating more leaf creations next week.
*We made baked "smashed potatoes" from the potatoes that we harvested out of our garden.
Have a GREAT weekend!!!!
This week's video...
directions for smashed potatoes
*Poke and bake at 350 for an hour (or until soft)
*Let cool, use the "heal" of your hand to smash the potatoes
*Brush with melted butter and your choice of seasonings (salt, pepper, seasoning salt, italian seasoning, garlic) on BOTH sides
*Bake at 400 for 20 minutes, flip and bake an additional 20 minutes.
ENJOY!
