Scissor Work, Button Work

By -
Well we really worked our small muscles and our brains today. Some days you just have to put those hands to work and today everyone went through the Magnolia Room Scissor School. We are happy to report that EACH and EVERY student graduated with honors! (See photos below!) We tried straight lines, zig-zag lines, loops, humps, and combo lines - we could not trick anyone. Scissor skills are a great thing to keep practicing, it may seem scary (think bangless hair or holes in shirts!) but that is why we practice right?! :)

We also TRIED and TRIED to challenge everyone with sorting, counting, and comparing buttons today. Students were playing a sorting game where they were asked to find certain buttons, describe how they sorted their buttons, figure out how many and how many more/less, and work with a small group to sort (this was a HUGE challenge, but we did it!)

What a day of work and play!

Team work!


It broke - how can we fix it?







This is VERY hard. 


It's a castle for the king and queen.









The little drummer boys! 






Flour Power! 

How can you work together and sort these buttons?


By Size?

By color?

Biggest to smallest?


And would it be a day in Magnolia if there wasn't a robot airplane?

Science Experiment

One of our favorite science activities is using baking soda and vinegar.  There are so many different ways to experiment with them.  Check out the video below for a fun idea!  I also like to add food coloring to small cups/jars of vinegar.  You can use any kind of dish to spread out baking soda.  Then with a dropper add the different colors of vinegar to it.  You can use medicine droppers, straws, or even small spoons to add the liquid to the powder. What did you observe?  Here is how it went out at our house. Kennedy and Keegan in action  Even my 5th grader Kellan was amazed!  When they were done they wanted to pour the cups out to see what would happen.  So cool!
