Moon Sand Science

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

Today was our first day of SCIENCE at TLC! We had a great time getting to know one another. Next, we read a book that talked about what Scientists do. Then we talked about how Scientists use their five senses (seeing, smelling, hearing, touch and taste). Finally, the fun part, we used some science manipulatives to talk about what we could learn about in science using our five senses. Next week we will be experimenting using the 7 steps of the Scientific Method. I can't wait!

My Even Day, by D. Fisher and D. Sneed- Read Aloud

Happy Thursday! Today's book is My Even Day. Based on even numbers, it is a follow up to One Odd Day. Extension Activities include making an Even Creature today (2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 mouths)! Count items around your house to see if you have even or odd amounts (I have 4 kitchen chairs so they are even). You can also make a number chart 1-10 and draw pictures for each one, circle your pictures in pairs to see if the number is even or odd. If you don't want to make your own, can you tell which are even and which are odd from my picture below?
