It's amazing what can happen in a classroom in one hour! The parent volunteers planned so many activities and games, it was incredible! Watercolor painting, rainbow paper heart craft, handprint valentines, glitter lava lamps, ping pong game, ring toss, a break-out box challenge in teams, and just when we thought the party was wrapping up, there was a balloon popping relay that created a room full of laughter!
It's amazing what can happen in a classroom in one hour! The parent volunteers planned so many activities and games, it was incredible! Watercolor painting, rainbow paper heart craft, handprint valentines, glitter lava lamps, ping pong game, ring toss, a break-out box challenge in teams, and just when we thought the party was wrapping up, there was a balloon popping relay that created a room full of laughter! Miss Petro mixed baking soda with vinegar then released the new gas near the candle, and guess what happened? Yes, it blew out! Solids and liquids are easy to locate, but gases are not. It was exciting to see how this one formed and affected the candle. Hands-on science is inquisitive, interactive, and invigorating! In stations, students discussed and described different types of matter inside of balloons. They also closely observed how a plasma ball responded to the touch of their hands and fingers. Later in the week, students explored how water, flour, rice and air responded to stirring and interacting with a syringe, while considering the properties of solids, liquids, and gases. During the special Liberty's Kids lunch, the girls explored our class' dress-up bin. This is one of the many options available this coming Wednesday during the National Day of Play! When is the last time you were silly and creative? Laughter is good medicine, and it's good for our brains to participate in creative activities! |
