Observation Fun...

This week we have been reading "Nature Spy" and we decided to "spy" on various nature items.  We learned about the word observation and how we can use magnifying glasses to help us take a closer look!  It was a lot of fun...

 

 

 

 

Tadpoles...

From Science Observation

Our tadpoles arrived this past week and the children are quite excited about watching them grow! We are keeping an observation journal and becoming “scientists” as we study them. We read the book "A Closer Look" on how to observe science using magnifying glasses! The children are doing a fantastic job! It is a lot of fun!

A Closer Look...

From Science Observation

We are working on science and observation of various items in the classroom. We read a portion of the book "A Closer Look." We used magnifying glasses to help us observe various items in the classroom. We then wrote an "Observation Journal" about what we observed. The children are beginning to understand how scientists observe things around them and write down information.

Science Fun...

The afternoon class had an amazing opportunity on Friday to learn science first hand! Ethan's grandmother, Karen, teaches Science to 2nd-3rd graders in their Science Lab. Karen was gracious enough to use one of her half day personal days to come and visit with our class. SHe brought all kinds of animals and taught the children about reptiles. The look on the children's faces were priceless. It was wonderful to see the excitement in the children about learning science. Ethan and Karen even put together a science experiment for the children to take home with them to practice observations. I cannot wait until Monday to ask the children about the observations they made. I cannot thank Karen enough for taking time out of her schedule to come and spend the afternoon with us and her grandson! Check out some of our photos of the fantastic learning, which occurred!

Science Fun in the Afternoon!
