Welcome back! We are glad to see everyone safe and dry.
The children were very excited to be back and play with their friends. The children were very eager to report on all the things they had seen on television about the weather and high water. We have lots of budding news reporters in our class.
Soccer shots was cancelled today, classes will resume next Tuesday.
FLUBBER
Mixture 1:
~ 1 1/2 cups very warm water
~ 2 cups Elmer’s glue
Combine in a small to medium bowl and stir with a clean spoon.
Mixture 2:
~ 3 teaspoons Borax (you can buy it on Amazon or at the grocery store)
~ 1 cup very warm water
Combine in a large bowl, stir until dissolved (or almost dissolved) with a clean spoon.
Pour mixture 1 into mixture 2. Because of the science behind this recipe, the borax combines with the PVA in the glue and makes a polymer. You could do nothing at this point and it would turn to flubber after a while. But what fun would that be? Your kids will want to stick their hands in immediately and start mixing. It will take about 10 minutes, but eventually all of the water will be absorbed, and you will have flubber!

We have had a fun filled week celebrating the children. Here’s a fun look back

Our day was filled with lots of fun.
The fun started with an obstacle course that Coach Vincent brought in for us. The children crawled through tunnels, ande balanced across geometric shapes.
The children worked on a purple silhouette art project. Take a look at their art work on our doors.
Our fun continued this afternoon with the adventure that awaited us in Arts Alive class!
Today we read the book What’s in that Egg? By Becky Baines. We learned there are many types of eggs and many animals that hatch from eggs. Do you know what animal lays the largest egg and which animal lays the smallest egg? We learned that an ostrich lays the largest egg and the hummingbird lays the smallest egg. We wondered what size egg an elephant would lay if they could.
This afternoon we had fun playing Picture Bingo!
