AFC MAGNOLIA PM

We made gak today.  We planted our grass seed today.  Matilda drew a picture of seed pod she found outside. Several friends drew pictures of what they observed on the hillside.  Thanks to Trajan's dad for being an awesome Mystery Reader today! 

We painted our pots today that will hold our grass seed for box city. 

Thanks to Eloise's dad for reading to us today! 

Painting with our fingers! Mylo said, "but my hands didn't get dirty!" We loved our pizza party! Thanks to everyone that ordered Papa Johns!!!

Some friends enjoyed playing with letters. We spelled our names, friends names and some small words like cat, dog, mom and dad. We made parachutes to fly through the wind tunnel!

One of our friends came to school today talking about wanting to add a tornado to our weather system. We decided that first we should learn about tornados and then we could try to think of a way to add a tornado to the pulley system. We learned about wind first. We were very lucky to be able to borrow the wind tunnel from the family atelier and the kids loved it! Then we found a great tornado experiment online! We used water, a little soap and some sequins to show movement! It was hard to see the tornado but very fun at the same time!

During small group capers we tended to our garden. We pulled a lot of weeds. We were able to see the strawberries growing and some herbs too. The children found slugs and saw the first bee of Spring!

The weather was so beautiful this afternoon that we went for a stroll to the sculpture park with the purple room. On our way there we saw so many things like a giant blue bus, people eating at a restaurant, and shoppers at stores. We also measured the tallest kid in the class for a project that green room is doing. They had so much fun figuring it out. Can you guess who it is? Lydia!!!

Sorting beads that we cut up Creating more raindrops for our weather system.  Oobleck Matilda made a person in the motor room.  Oliver built a structure with blocks.  Balancing fun!
