Chimes

For the past few weeks the primers have been practicing the Chimes with Miss Jane. 

They each get a note to play for the year. 

Then learn to read Miss Janes special sheet music. 

They are having a lot of fun with it, and you can look forward to hearing them at the Christmas program. 

Pop Rocks and Carbonation

We had fun last week seeing how the carbonation in soda and the carbon dioxide in Pop Rocks together can blow up a balloon. Pop Rocks are amazing! 

Science day is most everyone's favorite day:)

Science Friday: "Flubber"

 This week we learned about liquids and solids, and about how sometimes you can mix liquids together and make a solid, "Flubber".

 They loved it, but what's not to love....it's smooshy and fun, oh and it boumces.

Russia

 This past week we said goodbye to our study of "Community Helpers" and began our study of Russia. Mrs, Judy has been to Russia more than 20 times so she came in to share some information about their culture and give them some background on our first craft project for Russia, wooden spoons. 

 They are all painted with shiny black lacquered paint, with beautiful gold and red designs, They are used as musical instruments.

 The children were also treated to Ice Cream this week, Mrs. Judy explained how all over the streets of Russia there are people selling ice cream. We had two little sellers for the effect. They learned the Russian word for ice cream, unfortunately I do not have the correct characters on my keyboard to type it, but you can see it on the sign. Or ask the children, I am sure they will remember.

 We have had several special coloring pages, we are stressing the importance of not scribbling and they are all doing a good job.

On Friday they got to take their completed spoons to music and play them for everyone, it was so fun!
