Valentine's Day - Celebrating Friendship

Since we are starting to work on telling time in math and because...well, it's just so much fun, we decided to play some "Minute-to-Win-It" games for Valentine's Day!  We had so many wonderful parent helpers and the kids did a great job of rotating through all the activities - we had a blast!  

Kolleana shows off her balancing skills playing "Going Steady".

Avery shows us how to get a cookie from her forehead to her mouth without using her hands in "That's How the Cookie Tumbles".

Orrin is concentrating on making a smiley face with m&ms and a straw in "Smile!"

Kara shows patience while making a tower of hearts in "Heart-a-Stack"

Prestyn builds a tower of cups in "Stack-Attack".

Ian hooked 5 noodles on a piece of spaghetti (without hands!) playing "Through Thick and Thin".

Maya shows off her target skills playing "Cupid's Arrow" with Q-tips and a straw.

The boys try to hook pasta on spaghetti noodles.

The girls try to build tall towers of hearts.

How many Fruit Loops can you balance on a popsicle stick stuck in your mouth?

Can you stack a tower of 21 cups in under a minute?

Thanks to all the parents and volunteers who helped make our first annual "Minute-to-Win-It" a huge success!  The kids had a wonderful time (and the custodian didn't kill me the next day!)

Learning About Aquifers

The township water department came and taught us about aquifers and how to help protect our groundwater from contamination. 

  It was very interesting to learn about containment layers, wells, and water towers!

 

To help us remember how it all goes together, we made edible aquifers!  

We used Sprite in the bottom of the cup to represent the ground water way below the surface.  Then a scoop of ice cream represented the containment layer. 

On top, we use crushed Oreos as top soil, marshmallows as rocks and sprinkles as dirt to show all the things that can be above ground on top of our water. 

 

Finally, we pushed a "well" - a straw down through all the layers to get to our groundwater.  

Yum!

Special Project

The B.U.G.S. started a special project today.   

They were so excited about growing something from seeds but were surprised to find the seeds to be so tiny!

 We are looking forward to sprouts in a couple weeks and watching our plants grow!

(We will keep you posted!)
