Today’s lesson was from the science area, germination. We learned what the needs of a plant are. We also started an extension project that shares what the needs of a plant are. We also started a tissue flower art as well.

Tomorrow we will be trying different types of fruit.

Howdy Earl came to visit us during our music session with Mr. Jason. We sang his favorite old time song, Old Susanna. We learned that a chorus is the part of a that is repeated in a song.

Mr. Jason also shared on old time musical instrument that also doubled as a washing tool. It was a washing board. It was passed around and the children had a chance to play it.

Well we ended our final day of shark week with the carpet shark and a silly shark hat. Our class really took a lot of interest in the subject.

We got to enjoy playing balloon tennis in the basement and then finished off our playtime wearing cool star shades. Have a safe and happy 4th!!

Today we enjoyed a delicious treat from the ocean, shark fin Jell-O. The children were super excited!!

We studied the horn shark, many of us thought it was the weirdest shark we’ve seen. We also talked about the remora fish. It’s not a shark but it helps the shark.

Today our study was on the hammerhead shark. Cool facts we learned;

-it has no nose so it breathes thru its gills

-if it stops swimming it can’t breathe

-it has a flat head & big eyes

-it has a soft skeleton which allows it to bend & twist

-cartilage is what its bones are made of like our ears

I also introduced our shark water exploration tub. It has 14 different types of sharks that the children can observe and play with. It also contains a few other sea creatures.
