Little Ponies Telling Time
We are focusing on learning the parts of a clock and telling time to the hour and half hour. We are enjoying using manipulatives to tell time and will also continue our place value and measurement units as well to strengthen those particular skills. The kiddos will even make their very own clock this coming week! :}
We speak for the trees!
We are investigating the parts of a plant and how things like roots and a stem work to keep plants alive. This week, we learned about natural resources and the impact on the environment when we don't take care of it with more of The Lorax by Dr. Seuss. We asked questions about our Earth and what we can do to help. Next week, we will use a "dirt" snack with "humus" on the top to provide nutrients and proper soil for plants to grow. Gummy worms are delicious, but they also help explain how real worms aerate soil to make it a fertile, habitable place for plants to grow. We will also use celery stalks and white carnations to demonstrate how the stem drinks the colored water and sends it to the other parts of the plant. Let's see how colorful our white carnations become!
