Choosing Time: Sea Creature Puppets, Potato Head, Waves in a Bottle, Hula Hoops
Snack: Cheese Crackers
Science:
- We put some cold blue water into 2 jars. We added some vinegar & baking soda. We added some "fish" (raisins). The fish would sink and then swim to the top and then back to the bottom. This was fun to watch! And, our eruption with too much baking soda & vinegar was also a morning highlight.
- During Choosing Time, I provided a various assortment of shells. We were able to look at them with a magnifying glass. We noticed interesting patterns & colors.
Game: "Dive" for Sea Creatures & then jump through an "O".
Music & Movement:
- We listened to The Little Mermaid soundtrack. I played the instrumental side first and asked them to listen & tell me what we were listening to. One child said, "Some musical music." I laughed so hard. Another child said, "Pirate Music." When I turned the tape over to hear the vocals, everyone was surprised.
- We also took our "Sea Creatures" for a dance. We ran, skipped, hopped, and twirled.
We had more scissor practice today!
