Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Everyone enjoyed our green hues St Patrick’s Day mixing experiment!  We used eye droppers to collect yellow, blue and green and combine it in ice cube trays, test tubes and jars to create a wide variety of green hues.  Each tray was different so we came back many times to get a chance to try them all.  This activity was out right after breakfast and engaged our imaginations, bodies and experimental curiosity until lunch time!  Many of us created potions.  One friend was struggling to pour liquid into bottles and asked if she could use a funnel to make it easier.  We were happy to oblige and many other friends began using this tool to help with their pouring as well. 

We also created green sparkling paintings using different shades and tints of green.  We learned that when we add black to a color it is a shade and when we add white it’s called a tint.  We created paintings or mixed media artwork using the shades and tints in combination with drawings

We made a special St. Patrick’s Day snack. We made green muffins! We used spinach to get it to be a bright green and yes, they did gobble them up in no time. We also had a special green lunch. We had green tortillas and green chicken salad. There was some extra spinach from the muffins. We put them into the Wee Sprout bowl. A few of our friends came by and tried it.
