Photos!!
These photos are in no particular order but they highlight some of the unique and engaging activities we do in our classroom. Enjoy!

| This is the tree that all the children worked together to create over several days. |
 |
| This is ice melting using colored (plain) water and clear salt water. The children were able to experiment and see that the salt water melted the ice better but that the colored water was easier to see on top of and in the cracks and fissures in the ice. |
 |
| Spontaneous story time. |
 |
| Group play - the children decided on their own to play together on the seesaw and came up with their own way of letting everyone fit. |
 |
| This project teaches both sorting and fine motor skills and uses simple household materials like a muffin tin and tongs. You can do this at home with beads, buttons, or even dry pasta dyed with food coloring. |
 |
| More science fun! The children made a mountain in the sand box and I showed them how baking soda and vinegar combine to bubble and froth like a volcano. |
