Tin foil boat experiment

Today we are doing an experiment with tin foil to see if we can build a boat that will float.beach of our friends were given a piece of foil and asked to use their imaginations to build a boat that will float in water. Before we go outside we are going to fill our sensory tub with water and place the boats in it, hopefully when we come in from outside time all the boats are still floating.

Here are a couple pictures of some of the boats that we made

Humpty Dumpty

Happy Monday!

This week we are learning all about nursery rhymes, we had a blast talking about some of the rhymes that we know and love!  Today we read a few rhymes, a favorite was Humpty Dumpty!  We then made some silly Humpty dumptys of our own during art :)!  All things horses and all the kings men couldn't put Humpty together again, but with some glue and a band aid or two, we made Humpty look brand new!  

Happy Tuesday

Check out our cool city!

Graduation Week

Happy Monday!

Graduation is almost here, I can't believe it!  Only 4 more days!  This week we are talking all about how much we have grown this year!  Today we made stars, to show how bright we shine :)  It was a lot of fun to hear everyone's drams for when they grow up, we even practiced a little in the dramatic play center :)!

Happy Early Mother's Day!

We have worked really hard all week to celebrate our wonderful moms, have a fantastic weekend and wonderful Mother's Day!

Beautiful Butterflies!

Mother's Day week!

We had a blast today talking all about our moms!  There are so many reason that our moms are great!

Treasure Maps!

Today we talked about the most exciting kind of maps, treasure maps!  We had do much fun making our own treasure maps, our science this week was to make our map look old!  This was so much fun,  we used tea to paint on our paper and it gave it a great aged look!  Some of us also crumpled and ripped our paper, this was a blast - it's not to often we are actually supposed to crumple and rip our artwork! 

Having a fun day of Maps!

Happy Thursday!

Today we had a blast continuing to learn all about maps!  We had so much fun talking about roads, and how we give roads names so that we aren't confused about directions!  We loved talking about the streets that we live on during circle time!  Ms. Katie let us borrow her map of Iowa today, this was a huge hit and we had so much fun looking at how many different roads and cities there are!

If anyone has ever used a map, you know they are just about impossible to manage and fold back up, our monkey friends did such a great job still, and it's size was half the fun!

Blake and Mason were working super hard to finish the puzzle of the world!

And Kahne spent some time creating his own maps using State stickers, these are such a fun addition to our map making center!
