Creating Science Journals: Exploration Is Important!

Today a couple of my students shared their own science journals that they created during their exploration time.  Exploration time is play. It is a time when students have an opportunity to explore and create ideas they are interested in and learning about. So proud of these two scientists!

COTS Visits Kindergarten!

This morning we had Laurie Gunn visit Kindergarten!  She volunteers for COTS! We learned a lot about how people become homeless and need to stay in a shelter.  We also learned that we can support COTS by walking in May, in Burlington to raise money for all the people that need to stay in a shelter.  We learned a lot! We also talked a lot about the many things that we re grateful for too.  We have a special tree in our school where we can share what we are grateful for.

The Dorothy Alling Library Visits

This afternoon Ms. Jill visited us.  She is a librarian at the Dorothy Alling  Library.  She red us a wonderful story about the forest.  The story is: Over There. Today your child will be coming home with a packet of information about "how to" get a library card.  Please fill out and return to Kindergarten on Monday.  Click here for the website!  They have lots of great family activities!

Squishy Circuits!

This morning we learned "how to" make a circuit! A circuit travels in a circle.  You need insulating and conducting dough to make it work.  You also need a battery pack too!  We had fun creating caterpillars that lit up!  Thanks so much to Ms. Patti for teaching us about squishy circuits!
