Happy Friday!

Today we visited our window seed growing experiment.  We took down our beans which we planted a few days ago to see if there were any changes.  We found that our radish seeds had started to grow.  They all had a root and some had tiny leaves.  Some of our beans had begun to sprout a root and some had not.  We noticed that the radish seeds seemed to be growing faster than the bean seeds.  We worked on using our observational skills to draw what we saw.  If we were having trouble we though about what color and what shapes we were looking at, and that seemed to solve the problem.  We also worked on describing what we saw using works.  Older kids used kid spelling and younger kids got help from a teacher.  Hannah took it upon herself to help some of the younger kids with their kid spelling.  She also taught them about what letters make the “ING” sound.  Paige had a lovely description of the growing roots saying they looked like they had “tiny strings coming out”.

What beautiful and interesting artwork came out of the art center today.  We had everything from giant paintings to paper aircraft with boosters made of marker caps!

We had some beautiful journals from PREK2 this week including an “Elephant” and a“fire truck”.  At group today we read “My Brave Year of Firsts” which talked about trying new things that might be scary.  We talked at the end about things we have done that we had to be brave for.
