The children had so much fun at our Valentine's Day party. We started the day off by baking cupcakes. The children baked the most delicious red velvet mini cupcakes. After frosting the cupcakes, the children decorated them with edible glitter, sprinkles and chocolate chips. Some of them were so excited, that they started eating the cupcakes before they even decorated them. I am not sure if they had more fun baking the cupcakes or eating them. Mmm......were they good!
The children also decorated their own mailboxes with stickers and glittery hearts. They then filled their classmate's boxes with an assortment of candy, lollipops, and valentines. They became so excited as they watched their mailboxes being filled up.
The children also created heart shaped door knob hangers. They traced and cut out heart shapes, which they decorated with stickers, colored paper squares, glitter, and attached a pipe cleaner to them. They were so proud of their accomplishments. They kept holding them up and admiring them.
In music this week, the children learned a new good morning song and a new name song. They also learned how to use a box violin. Michelle taught them the rest and playing position and then had a Twinkle Parade with them. They children have been learning voice inflection, as well.
On Friday, we conducted a science experiment. We made "penny washers." The children filled four bowls with either salt, salt and water, vinegar, and vinegar and water and then added an old dirty penny to each bowl. They made predictions as to which solution would clean their penny the best. Lajos said, ''The penny will get shiny''. Eli said, ''The penny will stay the same.'' Caleb said, "The penny will magically become clean." Rachel said, "I think my penny will be the cleanest." We observed the pennies after 5, 10, and 15 minutes. We Finally discovered that the vinegar and salt did the best job cleaning the pennies.
I hope you all have a wonderful and safe vacation!!!
Love,
Ms. Bonne
P.S. We look forward to learning about recycling after vacation.
