Milk Experiment

Our class has been learning about Healthy Foods and Nutrition. During our Dairy week, we did an amazing science experiment art using milk, dish soap, Q-tips, and food coloring. If you want to try this at home, here is how it works: Pour milk into a plate or bowl, enough to cover the bottom. Carefully put drops of food coloring in the very center of the plate or bowl, try not to bump the dish. Dip a Q-tip in liquid dishwashing soap and then put the soap covered tip of your Q-tip in the very center of the drops of color. Watch, Enjoy, and Experiment with different types of liquid, holding the Q-tip still or swirling it around, etc. Here is the class and their reactions to this amazing Science/Art experience.

Grandparent's Day

Grandparents Day was so much fun!  The students were so excited to have their grandparents join us for a day and they couldn't stop talking about making ice cream.  The next day I had many of them tell me, "Let's make ice cream with our Grandparents again today!"  Thank you so much to all the grandparents who took the time to come in and make the day so special!

I have had a few parents ask me what the words are to the Seasons songs that we are singing, so I thought I would jot them down in case you want to sing it at home as well.
The Seasons Song (sung to Camptown Races):
Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring
Seasons, Seasons
Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring
Seasons of the year
In Summer it is Hot
In Fall the leaves fall off
Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring
Seasons of the Year
In Winter it is Cold
In Spring the Flowers Grow
Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring
Seasons of the Year
