The Fabulous 50's!

Fifties day was a blast!  The children looked precious and had a great time exploring the number 50 and learning about a time long ago.  We listened  to records on a real record player and talked about how it works and that back in the 50's that was how they listened  to music.We made a 45 record to write 150 days on and hang in our room.  We listened to fifties music and learned how to twist too.  We have some great twisters in our class!  After lunch we had a special treat for snack ~ root beer floats.  They were a BIG hit!  You may be getting a request for one soon!  Our bubble blowing contest was fun too.

Today we planted our eggshell people's hair (chives).  We are planning on a salad snack day when we can add some of our own chives to the salad.  Yum!  We also turned into scientific investigators.  We are conducting several plant experiments.  We hung Ziplocs in our window that contain a lima bean and a moist towel to determine if plants need dirt to grow.  We placed two plants in our closet to determine what will happen if they receive no light and some water or no light or water at all.  We placed one plant in front of our window that we will not water and one plant in the window that we will water.  We created prediction charts for each experiment as well and will be recording our results.  Look for an online seed and plant journal coming soon!
