DINOSAUR & OCEAN FUN!!!!!!!!

In the past weeks, we have dug deeply into the earth for fossils, and swam to the bottom of the oceans, all the while learning much about dinosaurs and the oceans. It is hard to believe that spring break is here, but we got in the mood with our beach day activities.

Our discussions about the ocean had to include the favorite sinking and floating experiment. It didn't take long for the boys to discover what the item was made out of was important.

Sailing, sailing in the ocean blue

The special treat for beach day was gummy fish in blue jello. Yummy in my tummy.

Even looking at books is more fun on beach towels.

Verbal recognition of numbers and letters was the review for this day.

Look at me!!!!!!!!

A long white envelope painted grey with jagged teeth becoms the greatest shark ever.

Rainbow fish made from CD's.

Octopus down under

Water resist paintings

Much more than just 12 shark crackers. Mrs. Angela named a group like six groups of two and we had to make what she said. A little tricky, but worth it since we got to eat them in the end.

Now that we've completed all 26 letters of the alphabet, we can match the upper and lower case letters.

We never tire of indoor magnetic fishing.

Counting money is a skill we used in catching and paying for our fish.

Baking soda, vinegar and red food coloring are the ingredients for the perfect volcano and a captivating audience.

Building their own red volcano.

Digging for pasta letters(fossils) in the play dough

A stegasoras in the making.

WATCH OUT WORLD HERE WE COME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dentists, construction workers, scientists, and astronauts are a few of the careers we learned more about in the last two weeks. Many of these occupations were people that served in our communities and helped us. Our activities, crafts, and experiments that we did just might lead us to become a famous scientist or astronaut some day. Watch out world here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my own spacecraft and I'm proud of it.

Finding out about space is more fun with a friend.

We each got to point out our favorite planet and explain why.

Remember there's no gravity on the moon so we had to bounce with our moon boots.

Magnetism is just like magic!!!!!!!!!

During our community helpers theme, we were dentists doing an experiment with hard boiled eggs which were like our teeth. One was soaked in water and one was soaked in coke over the weekend. The one that was soaked in coke was brown and we were going to try and brush the brown off. Do you think we could?

Putting the toothpaste on the brush.

No matter how much we scrubbed, we just couldn't get the brown sugary substance off the egg.

Mrs. Angela brought in a new road which the boys loved.

We only want a set of healthy white teeth. The task was to pick the white marshmallows out of the bag instead of the black beans representing the cavities.

With Bendaroos we can create almost anything.

WE LOVE OUR HEARTS!

Healthy hearts and bodies and valentine hearts have been the emphasis the last two weeks. We learned so many things and made many discoveries about our bodies. We discussed how love should be everyday of the year and not just on Valentine's Day. We'd like to show our love for you by sharing these pictures with you. Love, The Kindergarten Bridge

Pin the heart on Cupid. Everyone got right on the heart. You don't suppose we had any peekers?????????

Land the beanbags on the hearts. Try to get the highest number.

The guys said these heart airplanes needed some clouds so they gave them a personal touch. They're so creative. I loved it.

Letter recognition with m&m's. Yes, we ate as many we used.

Puzzle hearts

Perhaps not as much fun as eating chocolates, but matching up the right shapes in the box was a snap for these guys.

Each person 's fist was measured because that's about the size of our heart. Then our homework was to measure one of our parent's fist and compare the yarn and bring it back to school. It's fun to be scientists and make discoveries.

Our hearts pump the blood. The boys enjoyed coloring the blood red.

LUB-DUB, LUB-DUB is what we heard when we each got to hear our heart beat.

Ms Angela showed us how to find our pulse.

I found it and marked it with a blue sticker!!!!!!

Cutting out food from the ads in the paper.

Picking the foods from a bag and choosing if they are healthy or not healthy.

We learned that exercises like jumping, hopscotch, and Twister made our hearts beat faster.

After all that exercise, it's good to settle down and listen to a book on tape.
