Our First Science Experiment

I hope your little kinders told you all about our FIRST SCIENCE EXPERIMENT! Man, was it AWESOME! We used purple cabbage juice to test acids and bases. First, we made a hypothesis (an educated guess) about what we thought each item was going to be. Then, we poured each item in our purple cabbage solution to test our hypothesis. We discovered that when we poured something into our purple cabbage solution and the solution turned red, that meant the item was an acid. When we poured something into our solution and it turned blue, that meant it was a base. We also learned that sometimes our hypothesis' were right and sometimes our hypothesis' were wrong. But, it's cool because we ALL got to put on our junior scientist aprons! Take a look!

Zoo pictures coming soon!

We have been learning to read to ourselves in kindergarten.  We have talked about that good readers have to practice reading EVERYDAY!  Check us out in action!

Our Grandparents are GRAND

Grandparents Day 2011 was a SUCESS.  I sure had a great time.  I think our grandparents did too!  We enjoyed a snack, did a mini-craft project for the grandparents to take home, and last but certainly not least played BINGO!  For me, that was the highlight of the day.  The kids had SOOO much fun. 

Seeing Double and Jr. Scientists

As promised, I have posted the pictures from our "Special Me" project.  Parents, you did an AMAZING job!  I took each student's picture with their twin.  Is it just me, or am I seeing double!  I also wanted to share with you some pictures from our first G.T. lesson.  Mrs. Schmidt officially appointed each student in my class a "junior scientist" and let them all wear a jr. scientist apron.  Her first lesson was on the five senses.  It was a BLAST!  I hope your children came home and told you all about it.  I can't wait to see what our next lesson will be about!

Scientists tap their brains as they are thinking about important questions!
