First Science Experiment

BabyZilla attacking Leilah

Adding the Yeast


It Worked!



Day 3, 8-8-08:

Circle Time, 9:30am: Calendar, Letter of the week is B, Word of the week is Bashful meaning Shy, Spanish Word of the Day is Bombero which is a firefighter. The kids found LOTS of B words and keept shouting them out the whole morning! I wrote them all down as we thought of them. We counted bears and subtracted and added them to their piles. They did great figuring out the problems Anne gave them.

Free Art Time, 9:55: The kids colored their Bombero and Baker pages and copied all the big B's and little b's. Lorien and Darius did a great job! Then Darius glued paper together and put a tamp of a Panda on it. (He named it Kung Fu Panda). Then the kids both went to make play dough structures. They made birthday cakes and sandwiches. They must have been hungry!

Science, 10:45: We studied yeast. Anne filled water bottles halfway with warm water. Then Lorien and Darius pored in the yeast and sugar. Anne put the balloons on top. We learned that the yeast is a living thing. They grow and "burp" and that's why the balloons blew up. They were so excited that their experiment worked so well!

Reading, 11:00: We read The Brave Little Seamstress, by Mary Pope Osborne and Beach Day by Patricia Lakin
11:30: Wash hands, eat and play. Darius and Lorien played Pirates, while Vanessa and Leilah destroyed the kitchen with Farah.

Closing Circle Time, 11:45: We stretched, sang lots of songs that have B in it, like Baa Baa Black sheep, Little Boy Blue and Book of Mormon Stories. We talked about what we would bring that starts with B to share on Wednesday and found more B words to put on our B poster. All in all, it was a great day!

Hey Annie! Sounds like your preschool is a success! And by the way, it's "attacking" not "attaching". Haha! Anyway! This is kinda making me excited to teach preschool, if that is really what I want to go into! Love ya!
