Green eggs and ham, Dr. Seuss hats, wacky Wednesday, Oobleck and colored footprints! The Sea Turtles had an eventful week full of Dr. Seuss activities! On Monday we made green eggs and ham and the kids were enthralled when they saw the eggs turn from yellow to green! They all loved it (even though it didn't look appetizing to me ;)). Tuesday was filled with red and white striped hats in the classroom. Out on the courtyard the kids had time to plant their fresh Easter baskets! They have been looking everyday to see if any grass has grown yet! Wacky Wednesday was pretty wacky as the kids (teacher included) came dressed up in their wackiest outfits! Thursday brought on a science experiment of exploring oobleck, a simple recipe of water and corn starch that produces a liquid/solid substance. The activity went great with Dr. Seuss's book: Bartholomew and the Oobleck. The last day of the week was spent painting the kid's feet two different colors to differentiate their left from right after reading The Foot Book. We also started our service learning project to aid Transition House of Santa Barbara and the children have responded in a very positive way! We will continue the project throughout this whole month!
Next week we will be exploring dinosaurs and frogs! Dinosaur bone excavation, t-rex art craft, dinosaur footprints and much more!
See you Monday!
Love, Miss Meika
