We had so much fun last month exploring the different science tools we can find in our classroom. We practiced using these tools by making play dough and playing with it. We used measuring cups to measure out our ingredients. We used funnels to pour them into a bowl. We used eye droppers to add color and scent to our play dough! After we finished making the dough we used a scale the weigh it and practice heavy/light, we used rulers to measure the long snakes we made, and we used magnifying glasses to explore the different colors we could see in the dough. We had such a blast learning about and using science tools!
We loved getting to spend some time in the computer lab this week! The kiddos enjoyed getting to explore starfall.com and practice using the keyboard and mouse. We worked on only clicking on the mouse with 1 finger and making sure to click on the correct side of the mouse. We learned a lot about how to be gentle and respectful of the computers and take good care of them. It was a blast being in the computer lab! Can't wait to go back! We had so much fun this week! We had a visit from Officer Risher and from the Sandy Spring Volunteer Fire Department. It was great learning about all of the tools they use and need to do their jobs. We especially likes getting to climb in and explore their vehicles. A BIG THANK YOU to all of our visitors this week!
Today we had so much fun celebrating Halloween! We loved dressing up and parading around the school. We also enjoyed playing in our slimy sensory bin, making monster pudding, taking pictures in the photo booth and throwing spiders at a scary web! We finished up our party with a spook-tacular feast! Thank you so much to all the families who attended and/or sent in yummy treats or supplies! We hope you all have fun trick-or-treating!!! Sorry for the delay! We've been very busy here in PEP this month! Earlier in October we traveled to Green Meadows Farm. We had so much fun exploring the farm and meeting all of the different animals. Everybody was tired by the end of the trip, but we had a blast! Thank you so much to all of the parent volunteers who helped make the trip a success!!! Wow! I can't believe it is already the end of our second week of school! We have been learning so much and having so much fun getting to know our new class. Our friend from Ms. Angela's class even came to join us! We spent a lot of time these last two weeks learning about our school, our classroom and our friends. We learned the classroom rules and talked about how to be a good listener. We worked on writing our names and talked about the letters in each of our names. To end the week we made a HUGE mess! We loved playing in the gooey goop! Welcome back to school! Take a look at the different areas around our room! We've been working very hard to get everything ready for the kiddos! Can't wait to see you all next week! |
