March 8th, 2012

Announcements:

  • Conferences Friday March 9th, no school!
  • Thanks for signing up to bring snacks!

Activities:

  • Snack helpers:  Emma and Lydia
  • Art projects:   we made a kite; and we worked on a story - "If I could drive a car....."
  • We've got mail:  We found an experiment - "salty water makes the egg float"!  To do the experiment, fill a glass cup half full with water, carefully drop an egg in the water - it should sink! Slowly stir salt into the water - the egg should start to float.  It is much easier for people to float in the salty water of the ocean too!!
  • Mortimer the puppet introduced the letter "R" - he found a rainbow colored rabbit in the woods!
  • Dismiss for snack activity:  snowman number match, and position pictures!
  • Dora's clues:  small, medium, and large diamond - there was a diamond kite in the backpack for the children to color!
  • Stories:  Who Cares About the Weather; Bears Your Manners are Showing; Manners at School
  • Song:  "Teddy Bear Hokey-Pokey" song:  You put your teddy bear in, you put your teddy bear out; You put your teddy bear in, and you shake it all about, You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around, That's what it's all about!
