Last day of circus!

Today we read the book In the Jungle. In small groups we played an animal cracker game where you drew an animal out of a bag and tried to find it's match on a card, we colored a wagon and glued animal crackers in it, and we put pop rocks in baking soda and vinegar to watch and listen to it! The kids really liked that experiment because they could hear it! Have a fabulous weekend and thanks again to everyone who came to graduation last night! Ms. Ashley

Trapeze painting!

Today we read the book If I Ran The Circus by Dr. Seuss. In small groups we painted plastic wrap with liquid starch and put tissue paper on it to make circus decoration and we patterned seals. In the last group we painted like we were on a trapeze swing! It was so much fun! Hope to see everyone at graduation tonight! Ms. Ashley

Clowns!

Today we read the book The Little Engine That Could. In the book, there was a clown so in one small group we made a clown using shapes! In the another small group we experimented with fun circus colors, milk, and dish soap! It was fun watching the colors explode when the soap hit it! In the last group we painted with balloons! It was a fun day! Ms. Ashley

We went inside a camper today!

Today we read the book Otis and the Grumple Splunk! In small groups we changed what we had planned because Quality RV brought us some very cute camping posters and stickers; so in one group we colored a poster and answered camping question then in the other group we made a campsite with stickers! We also toured a camper! Thank you so much to Quality RV! They loved it! The kids said the bunk beds and the bathroom were the best parts! Thanks again! Ms. Ashley
