Monster Trucks!!!

I loved that I overheard kids 

working out their estimations.....

saying things like

well they are big SO there is probably

not as many even though the jar is full!!!

YES!!!! 

10 monster trucks!!!!!!

We had some great estimations today!!!

Entomologist Austin....

using the magnifying glass

to check out the chrysalis 

giving me the thumbs up that they are good

Day 3

we learned that they will

stay in their chrysalis for at least 10 days

I bought this surprise for the class

and forgot it at home yesterday

I told yesterdays class I would bring it today

Maisie was so excited and reminded me

about the surprise MANY times!!

Good Memory !!!

It is a projector

you can add different slides

and it will project

different space stuff...

the whole solar system

kids were spread out to get a good view

which you could see it from many locations...mostly

just getting room dark enough

the planets are slightly orbiting too

the moon

the milky way

Earth

Then we made

MOON SAND!!!!

8 parts flour

1 part baby oil

everyone got to help

in some way...

adding the flour

adding the 1 part baby oil

and also mixing...

then we got to play with it

moon sand is unique...

you can mold it together

and it will keep its shape

BUT

then crumble it apart!!!

very fun!!

hard to see but we also added

sequins to represent the planets

we moved the 

moon sand into a big taller container

easier for kids to sit on the ground with it

Taking individual pic of

the children with the

planet artwork they created to represent

the planet they choice

Ben, Luke and Austin

were using the ramps

the boys asked me to help them figure

out a way to keep the balls from just rolling

 on the ground at the end of the ramp

I was working with children on their

Mother's day presents, so I told them I thought

they could figure out a solution

and they DID!!!

They empty the container that holds the 

ramps and put it at the end

of the shelf and it caught all the balls!!!

GOOD PROBLEM SOLVING!!

MOON SAND

butterfly habitat BUT we were SO SO

busy with our space projector, making planet

 bracelets and working on 

Mother's Day presents.....

our DAY flew by!!!

But Mrs Koenen safely transferred

them into the habitat after class
