Staying Warm

We had 4 Winds today!

Today we learned about the importance of staying warm during the winter and how different animals do through feathers, fur and fat. We learned A LOT!

First we watched a fun video, then a funny puppet show!

After we put our scientist hats on and took part in an experiment. We started with hot water and poured it into five film canisters, one for each table and one control. Then we measured how hot the water was. After each table received a bag with a task to put in feathers, cotton balls and/or hay to use as insulators. Each table could choose whatever they wanted. Next the students decided where to place the canister in the bag. Then I put them all outside with the goal to see whose water would stay the warmest!

While we waited we played a memory game with different animals that use feathers, fat or fur to stay warm during winter. 


Then it was time to remeasure the temperature of our water. All of the tables did wonderful because each canister of water stayed warmer than our control! Wooohooo!




It was a great afternoon filled with fun and learning! What could be better?! A HUGE thank you to the family volunteers! We had a blast! 

Love,
Miss Brehm

Day TWO!

Day two is truly wonderful! We have so much fun together! Today we started working on our first classroom book and WOW it's going to be AMAZING! So many beautiful illustrators and creative thinkers in this class. Also today we completed our first of many Math and Writing rotations. It's been a busy busy busy day! Now to the fun stuff. It's always said that pictures speak much louder than words and I agree 100%. So here are the pictures from our magnificent day TWO! Right after lunch we went outside to explore our school garden with Nurse Amy! We picked marigold seeds which we are going to plant in our classroom! Check out all the fun we had!  It was a busy day indeed, but so much fun! I can't wait for tomorrow! Love, Miss Brehm
