It seems like it has been a very long time since we have had a full week! The week seems more difficult when you do not have school Monday - Friday. I think children, parents and teachers get all out of whack when it is not consistent. This week is going to be great! We are learning about penguins, hibernation, black bears and polar bears. During circle on Monday we finished an experiment from Friday. Each child was given the opportunity to pick two colors out of either red, yellow, green or blue. Then they guessed what color it would make when the two colors mixed. We then made colored ice cubes! On Monday we put two colored ice cubes per child in a cup and watched them melt. After melting the students discovered if their prediction was correct or not.
The kids are doing a wonderful job with their learning contracts this week! They are doing great being independent. The learning contract is great because they will be doing a similar learning contract in first grade. Preparing them for first grade is very important to us!
Hope your week is wonderful. There will probably be a new post on Thursday! I hope you have enjoyed the blog so far! If you would like to post a comment feel free! Thank you for all you do!
