We read Jan Brett's The Mitten. Here we are acting out the story
|
Here's our mitten. |
The "animals" are getting all snug and cozy in the mitten. The great bear sneezed and scattered the animals everywhere!
|
|
We sewed our own mittens and made all of the animals to go into the mitten so that we could retell the story at home.
|
Here's our igloo. So far, we have 159 jugs glued together. Keep collecting! |
|
We made a mitten pop-up book. We'll be bringing it home for you all to see. |
We learned the poem "5 Little Snowmen" and made our own snowmen. Aren't they cute? |
Electricity Fun
We had fun learning about static electricity and electrons. Here are some of the things that we learned...
 This balloon wouldn't let Mrs. Brockhaus get away. |
 We found that electricity can make your hair stand up! |
 Even the water liked the balloon! If you look closely, you can see the stream of water is being pulled toward the balloon.
|
 The crazy balloon stuck to the wall.
|
 Mrs. Brockhaus made a big mess of torn paper on the floor and made the "K" Kids clean it up. It was taking a long time so she showed us a short-cut
|
 With all of the static electricity excitement in our class, we decided to test out some other electricity. We were little scientists and made predictions (hypotheses) about what would happen when the wires connected with the + and- of the battery.
|
 We could even hook up 3 lights in a circuit and make the light up. |
This is fun! I'm going to be an electrician, just like my dad! |
 If we hooked up several batteries in the circuit, the light got brighter. |
 This was a project that Mrs. Brockhaus' son created. He made little houses and had electricity running through his little town to each building. |
