Timmy our Tortoise gave each friend an opportunity to explore more about him using their senses. My friends observed Timmy up close & felt his rough protective shell. They could hear him crawl across a Lego board using his claws. We ended our Pet & Popsicle Party with a great smelling and tasting treat. A wonderful end to a great week learning about our 5 senses!
Our 1st of many chemical reactions this year after reading “My Mouth is a Volcano”. My friends loved creating erupting volcanoes as an extension to the text! We've only just begun.
The task was to design and build a beam bridge that was strong enough to hold a few pedestrians, hippos. My friends were awesome engineers and their bridges were so creative. Young children are natural scientists. I couldn't wait another day to start engaging my new friends in STEM education. It's going to "BEE" a wonderful year.
