***The YMCA swim class begins TOMORROW for: Jackson, Eren, Clara, Addi, Elliott, Lucy, Elizabeth, Lulu

PLEASE BRING YOUR SWIMMER  A SWIM SUIT .  They may bring goggles also if they prefer to swim with them, but they are not required.  We will provide a towel.

Today many of our children, both kindergarteners and preschoolers alike, were delighted with an activity that Miss Melinda created for this week’s FAB Science: K.3.2 Investigate that things move in different ways, such as fast, slow, etc.   Mel created a hand-on activity that started out with a demonstration of fast and slow with marbles through a tube.  Then there was a lengthy discussion about how the angle and height of the tube effected the speed of the marble.  Finally, the children set off with their own marble and explored our environment to find ways to make it go fast and slow.  There was much happy animation as children discovered the many ways to make the marble roll at different speeds and shared their discoveries with friends.  We extended our exploration of fast and slow in our outdoor learning environment.

Weesprouts: Carrots and broccoli

Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with butter and dark red kidney beans, clementines, and cherry tomatoes.
