If you would like for your child to attend, please let us know by Wednesday. A permission slip should be filled out, and the cost is $8.00 (this includes lunch).

Iron Chef Challenge - Swiss Cheese!

SWISS CHEESE?????

Well, our older children wanted to have an Iron Chef Challenge, the secret ingredient was........ SWISS CHEESE!

Some children stepped up to the plate and judged the foods!

They tasted:

Bagels with tomato sauce and swiss cheese

Chicken tenders breaded in a fruit loop/bread crumb mixture, topped with swiss cheese and soy sauce

A milk shake made with milk, ice cream, cantelope, mango and SWISS CHEESE !

They wrote down their choices! And in the end Iron Chefs Nicole and Taryn won the Challenge!

On The Farm

Madison said she couldn't draw a cow, so all of her friends started helping her draw different animals. When we looked at all of the animals we made, Madison said we needed to put them in a farm. So.........we are making a big farm!

Cars!

Well, it seems that the boys are determined to incorporate cars into the current projects! They bring in different toy cars everyday. We are drawing them, naming them, and describing them. We need a road for them, so we started making that today.

Reading - Magic Tree Project

To help our reading skills, we are incorporating reading words that pertain to our magic tree project. We put a list of words on the wall that the children need to write their sentences about the tree. The children find the words on the list that make up his/her sentence. For example.....One child's sentence reads "The magic tree makes rainbows". She found the word "the" and wrote it, then the word "magic" etc. The children are learning to look for words that have the letters that make the sounds in the words! This was a great exercise for them!

The Magic Tree

We have a magic tree growing in our class! We "found" it yesterday! The leaves are all different colors, and it does so many magical things........

The children sat around the tree and came up with their own ideas for what magic the tree could do. Here are some of the ideas.....

it grows candy canes

it gives all the animals without fur, fur!

it grows apples of all different colors

it takes water from the roots and the trunk changes colors

if a polar bear comes next to it, it sprinkles red color down, red & white make pink, so the polar bear turns pink!

We are all drawing pictures to represent our ideas, and we will paint them and have them up soon for you all to admire ;0)

It's is Raining in the Forest!

If you take a look in the hallway you will see a tropical rain forest! After we learned that desserts don't have very many trees, we wanted to make a forest. Each child made his/her very own tree, however they wanted, and put it in our forest! Madison made two clouds pouring out rain for the forest. It turned out to be a masterpiece! Even our friends from next door helped us out!
