Today we had a ton of fun celebrating Bella and Elena's birthdays!  We got to have a special ice cram treat with snack and also with lunch, it was a grat day (and we even got to go OUTSIDE to play)!  We are also having so much fun learning facts about dinosaurs this week, we have already learned so many cool things, especially about triceratops - we even made our own triceratops pictures today!

Happy Friday

This week was filled with space fun, and today we finished it off by making fur own planets, which were mostly named Pluto for some reason, I think we must have felt bad for real Pluto!  Today we also celebrated Ella's half birthday :). She will be 5 in the middle of the summer so she shared some treats with us for 41/2 instead... They were YUMMY!

This is the Spaceship/Rhino today :). It was silly and fun!
Relaxing and reading!

Space Fun!

We splatter painted to make a sky of stars and constellations!  It was super messy but so much fun :)!
Finding numbers in the stars had been a blast, and a great way to practice!
Our super messy galaxy dough, it got a little better for day 2 and was more play-dough and less sticky!

Science Fun!

Good afternoon all!  Today we did a really cool science experiment that is worth a try at home today too, it is quick and easy!  I'm sure some of you have seen that you can boil water and watch it turn into snow dust - we gave it a try and IT WORKS!  I was a little skeptical, but we had so much fun as a class watching our water turn to "dust" right in front of our eyes!  

Bonus - we were OUTSIDE! It was a great day :)!
