Once upon a time the sun was shining and everything was typical. Then the moon moved between the earth and the sun…what happened?
Read on to learn more about the solar eclipse, our van trips, eating the sea, playing with purple and our solid routine.
What happens when you move your cups?
Just like the light sun and cardboard moon Ms Kristin showed at Circle Time, the moon covers the sun! Show your family how you can do it!
We had to paint two circle stickers: one black and one yellow. Then after Circle Time we put them on cups and watched the sun sticker disappear and reappear from behind the moon sticker. Happy Solar Eclipse!
Where did you say you’d want to go in a van?
Ms Brenda led us in a snack time school family conversation and we had a wide range of answers from home to a make believe Candy Land. Then we looked at the completed alphabet projects and pretended that the vans were going to the places we thought of! Great recall work, friends!
Our classroom van is made of our chairs, our journal shelf, puppet stage and library. It has the option of 13 steering wheels, seat belts, a hundred keys and maps. We’ll be taking a lot of vacations this week!
What was the sea made of that we could eat today?
Jello! Thank you Henry G for the special birthday treats. The sand was so realistic it seemed strange to eat it but Henry reassured us it was made from the same thing we use for S’mores…graham crackers!
What color is the play dough this month?
Purple! Even though we started with several shades of purple, it has been mixed well into a solid shade.
What do we usually do after Snack Time?
Go outside! That means we need to put on our shoes and backpacks and clean up the classroom. Today without saying anything I noticed children suddenly cleaning up with their backpacks on. It is April and they know this routine!
