plants

We have been learning about plants. Today we planted a lima bean seed in our Little Sprout House. We can't wait to see what has happened when we return to school on Monday.

Scientist of the Week

James was our scientist this week. He did an experiment with "Invisible Ink".

This was a tricky one, and he had to do most of it at home. He showed us how he wrote on a white paper with lemon juice. It's invisible! The class made their predictions. Then, he showed us the one that is not invisible. Magic, right?
The instructions say to put it in the oven, but James' dad just held it over a burner, and that did the trick. I told the class, do not to try this experiment without a parent!

Look, you can now see the invisible ink!
Great job, James!

Spring Party

We had a fun Spring Party on Friday. The children were so excited!

We made bird feeders...

did an egg relay...

and did the cake walk for a treat.

Yum!


A big thank you goes to our room moms for all the time and effort they put into making this so much fun for the class.  Have a great Spring Break and we'll see you next week!
