Busy Day

We had a very busy day today.  Your little guys should be pooped out.  Mrs. Washburn from TAG visited our class, we went to the computer lab, previewed the Book Fair in the library, had our vision and hearing tested, and almost had a fire drill.  Go to bed early tonight  :)

Blending Colors

Today, in science we talked about blending colors.  Did you know that red and yellow make orange?  Well, that's what we discovered today.  I used a die-cut machine to cut out a leaf from a coffee filter.  Then the kids colored their leaves with red and yellow washable markers.  We used a spray bottle filled with water to "water" our leaf.  The colors mixed and turned the leaves orange.  Then we wrote about our experiment in our learning journal.

Parts of an Apple

Today we learned about the parts of an apple.  We used the top and bottom half of a red apple cut from a die-cut machine.  Then the kids had to draw the core, seeds, and flesh.  Then they labeled the different parts and glued it in their learning journal.
