We are practicing counting by 5s and 2s, as well as noticing even and odd numbers.
Our current research is Shrunken Apple Heads and how they are changing.
Step 1: We used the apple peeler to peel apples.
Step 2: Then we carved out a face.
Step 3: Then, we dipped it in a lemon juice and salt mixture.
Step 4: Finally, we put it on a stick.
We are waiting to see how they change as they sit out over the next week or so. We had a lot of delicious fun doing this experiment, as you can see from our Apple Movie:
This morning Erik brought in a fruit for our Discovery Table.
We decided to do some research and figure out what this fruit was. The kids used their ipads to read the QR codes that would bring them to an online glossary of fruits and vegetables.
After some research, students think they have found a few likely matches.
Have you ever seen a fruit like this? Where? Some of us think we saw it at Charlie's County Market, but it was not for eating.
Those shrunken apple heads look like a really cool project, I can't wait to see how they turn out. I love all the fun songs that you are learning. Maddy often sings the Fifty Nifty song in the car and I've heard the 5's song as well. Keep up the great work room 408!!!
