A reflection on our kindergarten classroom.


Dinosaurs!!!!

Kinderkids, I love this song, don’t you?  Maybe you could tell the world about your favorite dinosaur we’ve learned about on our blog.  Be sure to tell us what the dinosaur’s name is, what he likes to eat, and why he is your favorite.  Thanks for visiting!!

Cloudy With a Chance of…What?


@ Yahoo! Video

Can you believe the weather forecast? 
I was planning on waiting until the winter weather hit to announce our unit on weather, but that weather had other plans for our classroom didn’t it?  Tomorrow I will share my personal favorite story, Judi Barrett’s “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” with you.  What a wonderful way to start a conversation about the weather, don’t you think? Be sure to tell us what you think about this weateher!  Oh and one more thing, I think my family may escape this crazy weather at the theater watching “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” in 3D!  Click here for the showtimes!!

Cracking a Chemical Reaction

 

After our science experiment last week with Mr. L’s light sticks, I found this video.  Steve Spangler and his friends actually take a light stick apart.  Now we can see more clearly how the two chemicals in a light stick are kept apart.  Do you remember when I first gave you your lightsticks and we turned out the lights only to find that they didn’t glow?  We had to break the tiny tube inside to make our chemicals mix.  Then we shook our glow sticks to mix the chemicals together even more.  The only thing that this video is missing are the ways to speed up and slow down that reaction.  Do you remember what we used to do that?
