Our Week in Photos:

    📸 Here's A Little Snap Shot of Our Week📸   

We started off the week making Easter Bunnies!

V is for Vase!

Vv is for Vegetables!

We loved finding peas in snow peas and sugar snap peas!

And had so much fun exploring vegetables with all of our senses! 

Even our sense of TASTE!!!

We loved some veggies...

and weren't sure about others!

But we were all brave and tried them all!

Then we voted for our favorite by secret ballot!!

We then recorded our taste test results on our own graphs!!

Did you know that broccoli is good for more than just eating?!?!

We started making a special kind of transportation...

Playtime is so much fun!!

Vv is for volcano!!

Making volcanoes out of play dough was so much fun too!!

They came out so good!!

Playing "The Floor is Lava" was so much fun!!

We learned all about sinking and floating!

Then we made predictions about what items we thought would sink and which we thought would float!!

Even Lieutenant Rocco got in on the fun!

Then we tested all of our predictions and then some!!

Be sure to ask your marine scientist all about it!!

Then we were ready to set sail!!

We learned all about boats and sail boats in particular!

We made very special sail boats...

Racing our sailboats was SO MUCH FUN!!!

Our Afternoon Friends love playing Learning Board Games!

We weren't done with the high seas yet...

This time we made itty bitty sails for another kind of sailboat! 

Officer Feeney was our special guest lecturer this week!!

He taught us how to carve rectangles (our shape of the month) into bars of soap!!

Our soap boats came out so cool!!

⛵AND THEN WE SET SAIL!!!!!⛵

It was so much fun!!!

Thank you Officer Feeney!!

⛵We 💙you!!⛵

We learned all about submarines this week too!!

And did so well on our Submarine Color by Number too!!

We loved learning about eggs and springtime...

and did so well cutting open our eggs and making our chicks!

Egg Balancing Games were so much fun too!

Show and Tell continues to be a class favorite!!

Looking forward to seeing everyone on our Trip and at our Parade this week!!
