What is new in JK/SK?

We are continuing our learning about sorting.  Here is a friend who choose to sort the storytelling pieces from our Brown Bear, Brown Bear story.  As we sort, we continue to talk about our "sorting rule".  Ask your child to sing "The Sorting Song".  This is a favourite song to sing during our tidy-up time.

On Super Science Wednesday, Mrs. Allan lead us in an experiment involving coloured water and celery.

As good scienctists do, we made predictions about what we thought would happen when we left the celery overnight in the coloured water.

We discovered that the coloured water travelled up the celery stalk and made the leaves change color.  We could see the results most clearly with the red water.  Lots of friends volunteered to draw a picture and print words about this experiment in our Super Science Wednesday journal.  

We still had some apples left over from our applesauce day, so we used Mrs. Ducharme's "I Wonder" question to see if apples sink or float in water.  Again, we made predictions first and then we had fun testing out the results!  Tell mom and dad, what did we discover?  Do apples sink or float?
