Good Afternoon!

Tornadoes were the topic of the morning as our friends came in to breakfast!  After last nights storms there were stories and questions.  We thought we would follow that interest introducing a small experiment which showed how a tornado worked.  We added soap, vinegar and food coloring to a jar and tried swirling the water in the jar.  Once it was spinning we could put the jar down and watch the vortex inside.  We talked about how a tornado does the same thing with air spinning into a vortex like the one inside the jar.  The experiment expanded into different sized jars utensils to spin the water.  When the experiment was done, everyone enjoyed some imaginative play with the water!

PREK2: In group today we read “The Color Monster”.  After the story we talked about what color the emotion we were feeling would be.
