FUN FRIDAY!
Wow ~ what a busy day! We have had a wonderful first week! Here are a few of the things that we worked on...

| We worked on using proper handwriting for both letters and numbers. |
We finished up our study of rules and citizenship this morning. We put the first few things into our interactive notebook.
After reading, A Porcupine Named Fluffy, and talking about friendship, we made "Friendship Salad." As we poured kids (fruit) in to our class (bowl), we discussed all of the good behaviors and attitudes we want to see in our classroom. Then as I started to put in the rotten banana, the kids all said, "No, don't - yuck!" This gave us the opportunity to discuss how poor behavior and mean words can ruin the fun we have in class (salad). The kids loved their fruit Friendship Salad and most had seconds! Yummy!
Today was our first Sci-Fri day! On Fridays, we will try to squeeze in a simple science experiment. Science is just so fun! Ask the kids about today's Balloon Experiment. Our first try was not successful. :( I explained to the class that this happens all the time in science and actually is one of the best ways to learn something! We had success on try #2! See if your child can remember any of the terms we started talking about: chemical reaction, base, acid, and carbon dioxide. Did you know that you can blow up a balloon without using your mouth?! We found out that if you make a chemical reaction that you can!
If you want to try it at home...you will need a plastic bottle, about a cup of white vinegar, 5 tsp of baking soda, and a balloon. Put the vinegar in the bottle, pour in the baking soda, and quickly place the balloon around the mouth of the bottle. It will fill up quickly! :) Fun stuff!
Have a super weekend!
