A Matter of Taste

This morning we used three of our senses to figure out what "A" and "B" cups contained.



We used our eyes to observe that both cups had white crystals.

We use our fingers to feel that both cups held things that felt rough.

The big differences came when we tasted. One was salty and one was sweet. Based on all of our observations we identified the substances as sugar and salt.

To finish up our discussion we named different salty or sweet snacks and talked about how different people like different tastes.

S Snake

Snakes are a regular occurrence here in the jungle. We see snakes slither across our outdoor hallway with some frequency, so the kiddos have a personal connection to them. This was reflected in lots of patterns, smiles, and familiarity.

KISS, keep it simple stupid

Overwhelmed by shelves gone wild? Have you ever reached a point when your home or classroom shelves begin to explode? I really never thought I would, but here I am with this: My kiddos have basically stopped using this area because the shelves have become too overwhelming. Now don't get me wrong, I love having so many beautiful resources, but too much is too much! So I turned my shelf to utilize the space better and simplified. Two days later the literacy area is one of the go to spots in the class. I think this is an easy fix, simplify and they will come. As my very smart dad is fond of saying "keep it simple stupid!" A reminder that has served my kiddos well this week.

Plarn and exploring reusing and recycling

Today we began an exploration of plastic bags. Our class goal this week is to create art work that can be places outside without falling apart when it rains. We will use strips of plastic bags to create different animal sculptures and representations to hang on our screen wall in the science and biology space in PK. More pictures to come, but here is a peek at our exploration.
