Found a leaf bug, "Teachable Moment"!
The PreK students had the opportunity to discover the parts of a sunflower up close in our science study. We dissected the sunflowers we had in our classroom for a closer look. We also learned how to properly use a magnifying glass during science discovery.
Discovering the Veins in the Leaves
Investigating Inside the Stem
Teamwork
Assessments have begun! Because of this, we did not have small groups today. The children enjoyed spending time working in centers, reviewing routines and having some great outdoor time.
Working together during centers
Discovering a leaf bug found outside
We discovered the power of magnets during our art experience today. We also discovered mystery names in our watercolor paintings…it was a day of discovery!

Sunflower, sunflower, how do you grow? Our sunflower scientists discovered that seeds need soil, water and sunlight to grow
Enjoying our time in the classroom
Outside time is a great time to build friendships and challenge gross motor skills
The students were introduced to a recipe in the Tuesday afternoon class and used it along with Ms. Courtney’s help to create their own play dough. The recipe was sent home and is super easy! Great idea for a rainy afternoon.

EXPLORING THE SCIENCE THAT IS ALL AROUND US
USING YOUR SENSES TO EXPLORE SCIENCE
The first week of summer camp was full of adventures…the Children’s Museum Center joined our classroom to teach us about Wonderful Weather! We made our own snow, learned about the electricity that is created by lightening and experimented with the power of air and wind. We got a little messy as we dug for real night crawlers in the sensory table on the playground. Water Wednesday was a hit with Splish Splashing Fun in our bubble pools. We ended the week with a bike ride with our friends and a pizza party with popsicles! We’re looking forward to next week’s Cooking Camp!
