Spring Break!

We finished up our Outer Space unit this week. We learned so much about the planets, what they are made of and which planets have life on them. We absolutely loved learning about Astronauts.

 We made our own rocket ships and flew them around the room.

Can I tell you how much I love Melissa & Doug Triangular Crayon Set, 24-Piece They are so much more durable than standard crayons.


This week is Spring Break for us which means we have a few less of our regular kids and a few more of our school age kiddos. It's been beautiful here so we've spent lots of time playing at the park.

  Having Epic Star Wars Battles

Creating Sidewalk masterpieces

  blowing bubbles

and hunting for eggs.

 we still fit in our morning Circle Time routine. We love to sing and dance. 

 

We started Mother Goose Time Ocean Commotion  this week with a super cool Science Experiment. We learned that the ocean is made up of Salt Water which is not good to drink. We examined the difference between clear fresh water, water we added salt to, and water we added sugar to.

 We observed  how the water changed in color, smell, and clarity .  The sugar dissolved, but the water looked slightly cloudy. The salt water became very cloudy. It was hard to see through.

Almost everyone thought the salt water smelled and tasted gross.

How many of us have been to the beach and collected shells? We created an Oyster shell. 

 We strung beads on pipe cleaners to make our Oyster Pearls.

More Ocean Commotion to come. Happy Easter.
