In Late- September and October we will be studying "Animals and their Habitats" in Science. Classes have already studied either Giant Pandas, Snakes, and Elephants based on their grade. Here is a great picture of an elementary Giant Panda painting and of Elephants made with early elementary. Science is fun!

I Ain't Gonna Paint No More by K. Beaumont- Read Aloud

Image
Happy Wonderful Wednesday! Today we were feeling artsy at the Currie household. So, I wanted to share a fun book called I Ain't Gonna Paint No More. Can you find the rhyming words? Extension activities for this book- make a painting (do not paint yourself like our main character), find an object that is every color of the rainbow (science friends remember ROY G. BIV) or make a color scavenger hunt for your family. Stay safe and healthy! Hugs from Ms. Lora.

It is a Super Saturday! I know some of my students are coloring eggs or making art projects at home. So, I wanted to share a book about a young lady who dreams of being a scientist and how she learns to incorporate art into her science experiments. There are so many extension activities you can do with this book! Mixing colors to make new colors with water colors or egg dye. Design something new or sketch an idea you have. Mix up some ingredients and make a delicious treat (yes, food can be art). Have fun and share with me what you are doing science-rific! I hope you enjoy this STREAM activity! Grades K-6.

Moon Sand Science

Image
As promised, I tried a recipe for Moon Sand today. It was much cheaper to make than the $19.95 it is listed for on Amazon. Not as good quality, but fun either way to play with (and it smells amazing)! Extension activities to go with this include using your fraction knowledge to double the recipe or try different food coloring colors to make new color. Have fun (make sure you ask for permission before you try it). Ps. You need more than a few drops of food coloring to make a bold color! Stay safe! Ms. Lora
