Fun Friday

We had a really Fun Friday!  One of our friends brought yummy cupcakes for us to enjoy today, so we celebrated being almost 1st graders!  Then, a parent came and did some singing with us, played parachute games with us, and then gave us all bubbles to blow!  We had a lot of fun with her!  After that, we ate Popsicles and played at the park with all of the Fairview Kindergarteners!  We had a busy, fun afternoon!

Baby Chicks

Our third grade buddies invited into their classroom today to see the baby chicks that hatched this week in their classroom!  We loved getting to touch and watch these adorable little chicks!

Domino Fun

We had fun with dominoes today!  To go along with our force and motion unit in science, we made domino creations that we could knock down with little force.  These were really tricky to design because if we bumped the table they came crashing down!  We had so much fun that we asked Mrs. Bickel if we could do this activity some more tomorrow!

Outside Fun

It was a gorgeous day today, so we took advantage of it!  We had our snack time outside with Louise!  Louise lives outside in the tortoise habitat at our school.  She was eating some vegetables while we were eating our snacks.  It was fun watching her eat and stretch out her neck to get her food!

Instead of afternoon recess, we went to the outdoor stage at our school.  We took turns doing little performances on the stage for our friends.  We had fun doing this!  We hope to do it again soon!

Fun Friday

It was a great day for blowing bubbles!  That's what we did for Fun Friday!  It was also an activity that went along with our new science unit - force and motion.  We got to experiment with how fast or slow we blew to make the bubbles come out of our bubble wands!  Some of us had a lot of fun catching and popping bubbles, too!

Yesterday we read and talked about the houses that the Three Little Pigs built.  Then, we pretended to be "Big, Bad Wolves" and tried blowing on blocks, Popsicle sticks, and strips of paper (for hay/straw) through drinking straws to see if we could make the objects move by pushing air onto them.  The students got really creative with this and tried different surfaces and other objects in our classroom!  We discovered that we had some strong air in us!!!

Seed Art

Since we have been learning about seeds and plants, we decided to use some seeds to make an art project.  We used seeds and designed amazing pieces of artwork that are now hanging in our hallway! Mrs. Bickel couldn't believe how creative we were with our seeds!

Plant Experiments/Fun Friday

Our predictions were correct!  The carnations and celery stalks DID change colors just like we predicted!  They were so fun to watch change colors each day this week!

For Fun Friday today "Miss Sweet Corn" came and read to us!  The book she read to us was called "Tops and Bottoms" by Janet Stevens.  The characters in this book planted different foods in their gardens.  This was a great book to have read aloud to us since we are learning about plants!
