Celery Stalk Experiment

Last week, we did a celery stalk experiment! This experiment showed us how the plant drinks and absorbs the water. As you can tell our celery stalk drank plenty of water since the first day, we had marked the level of the cup. We also chose to use red and blue water to show how the water travels from the roots up to the leaves. By the end of the experiment we were shocked to see the color of our celery stalk!





My Little Sprout House: Lima Beans

In class, we have been observing growth in our sprout houses. In each house we are growing lima beans. This is a simple project that can be done at home by putting a wet paper towel and lima bean in a ziplock bag. We have enjoyed watching our seeds change from day to day!

Days of the Week Activity

This week in phonics we worked with the days of the week. We work with the days of the week each day in class, but this was to review the order. Our class read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" and made a flip chart of what the caterpillar ate each day!





Library Field Trip

Kindergarten had a wonderful time at the library! Our walk over was beautiful! While at the library we met the librarian Mr.Tony. Mr. Tony read us a book and taught us about how a library is used. He also told us about the summer reading program that the library will be offering!
