We are still having a great time DOWN ON THE FARM!

Take a look at how we have been exploring!

We made prints of some of the farmer's crops...we used peppers, acorn squash, zucchini, apples, celery and potatoes as our painting tools. While painting, the students noticed that some of the fruits and vegetables had seeds inside and also explored the different textures, too. I hope you were able to see the results hung up around our classroom during Curriculum Night!

 

 

 

We also spent some time measuring the height of our pumpkin.  Using unifix cubes, the students estimated how many cubes they would need to get to the top of the pumpkin. We had a large range of guesses...from 4 cubes all the way to 100 cubes!  We put our estimates to the test and determined if they were "TOO LONG", "TOO SHORT" or "EQUAL"

 

 

And since we were exploring pumpkins, next we made predictions about whether a pumpkin would sink or float if we dropped it in water. What's your prediction? These were our guesses...

        SURPRISE! IT FLOATS!

 

 

 

We have been busy creating art, working in the Farmer's Market (Dramatic Play), and learning about all the great things that happen on a farm.
