St. Patrick's Day and Lava Lamps

We had some surprising things happen in our classroom. When we walked in today it was clear the leprechauns had been here!







We found footprints everywhere, even on the window! Our chairs had grown, and changed color, however we found out that a 4th grade class had chairs that were shrunk and were the same color as our old chairs. We couldn't figure out how leprechauns were able to move all those chairs, although we had some good ideas such as taking them out the window, or using magic. There were cookies on the desks, and a whole bag of golden coins that were filled with chocolate. It was a very eventful morning.

Our science experiment today was also a lot of fun. We made lava lamps using water, food coloring, glitter, oil, and alka-seltzer. They turned out really cool!













It was a great day!

Gardening

We had a great time today with our gardening experience.

It was fun taking a look at the inside of lima bean seeds.





Then we went out into our garden and planted pea seeds for our school, and sunflower seeds to take home. We also got to taste some of the spinach, kale, and beet greens that are ready for harvesting.


















It was a beautiful day in the garden!

Bad Kitty Play

We had a great time at the Bad Kitty play! Kitty had to deal with change, solving problems, and being kind to others even when she wasn't very happy. It was silly and funny.

Experimenting with Liquids

We have been experimenting with how liquids move and what they look like and feel like.
