What Happens When You Add That Stinky Stuff?

We did some very interesting activities this morning.  We played with a few toys and used the tweezers with buttons right when we first got here.  Then we got to play a very cool game called "Jump the River".  It is fun and easy.  There are two ropes on the floor.  They are very close together.  Everyone gets a turn to 'jump the river'.  Then Mrs. Meyers fixes the ropes so that they are further apart, then further, then further, then furthest of all!  Oh my goodness.  We had to run and jump to try and cross that river.  Some of us still got our feet wet, but we sure had fun.

Another thing that was way cool was a science experiment that we did with Mrs. Whiteman.  We had little black trays with some white powder (called baking soda) in them.  Then there was some really stinky stuff called vinegar.  Yucky.  We used some little eye droppers and sucked up the vinegar.  Then we squeezed the dropper and out came the vinegar onto the baking soda.  Guess what happened?  The baking soda got all fizzy.  It was really neat and you could even hear the bubbles.  We did it over and over again.

Our songs today were "This Little Light of Mine" and "5 Little Angels".  We heard a story called, "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bell".  My goodness.  You would not believe all of the things that old lady swallowed besides a bell.  There were bows and presents and all sorts of things.  I wonder what else happened in the story?

Our snack today was cheese and crackers.  Thank you, Aidan.  On Thursday our snack was from Kadence and it was strawberries and chicky crackers.  We love strawberries.  Thank you, Kadence.  We also had a helper.  Thank you, Max's mom.

At Art today we did a resist.  Ha ha.  That is a big word but it just means that we painted over white crayon on white paper.  When we painted, a star and the first letter of our name showed up on the paper.  That was awesome.
