The Zoo and Pete the Cat

We love the zoo!

Surveying the Bumblebees for shoe colors

The shoe information was tallied and graphed once we went back to own room.

Sorting for attributes such as color, size, shape and number of holes.

We've been busy in the Ladybugs!  We visited the zoo to see the Arctic animals we had been learning about and then moved on to "Pete the Cat".  There are several books in the "Pete the Cat" series and we have been using them as a jumping off point for math, writing, reading and art activities.

Science and Valentines Day

 The Ladybugs have been busy with science experiments.  We made gak and dissolved candy hearts in a variety of liquids.   We also talked about what it means to be a friend and spent time getting ready for Valentines Day.

STEM and The 3 Little Pigs

It started with reading "The 3 Little Pigs" and that was followed up
with a discussion of ways to build a strong house.

Materials were chosen and the engineering began.

Sometimes it took several tries before a workable design was found.

Then there was the testing phase.  Would the house stand up
to a wolf?`

Then it was time to document the process and the results.
