Healthy Teeth :: Our Experiment :: Day 1

Today we were being scientists. We were wondering about our teeth.  We talked about foods and drinks that are good for our teeth and foods that are bad for our teeth. We wondered about what would happen to our teeth if we didn't brush them.

We decided to make an experiment.  We pretended that an egg was a tooth.  Here is what we did:

Step 1

We poured soda in a cup. We poured apple juice in a cup. We poured water in a cup.

Step 2

We put an egg in each cup.

Step 3

We wait and look at it and investigate with our eyes. We drew pictures and wrote about what we saw.

What do you think will happen?

Skype Play with Ms. Gatherall's Kinderkids!

The Blue Group made new friends today!  We met Ms. Gatherall's Kindergarten Class!  We could hear them but we could not see them.  Their webcam wasn't working today but we hope to see them when we skype them again on Monday!  Here is what we learned:

They had a Clifford Celebration.
They know the Pea Pod Press Song - just like us! We said it together!
They taught us a goodbye song. We sang it together.

Here is a movie they made about their day.

Something strange...

...look what was discovered by our Smartboard a couple of days ago! It really is a shoe!  And who is Lucky?  Any ideas?

Our Field Trip To The Fluvarium

We went on a field trip to The Fluvarium. It was fun! We learned a lot.

We saw lots of fish.  They swim under the ice and in the  muddy water.  They swim slowly in winter because they don't want to get too tired or hungry.  They can't catch much food in the winter.  In the spring the fish will swim faster because it is warmer and they will be able to find more food.

We saw frogs.  The frogs were not hibernating because they live inside the Fluvarium. Frogs are slimy and wet.  If the circle behind the eye is bigger than an eye it is a boy.  If it is smaller than the eye it is a girl.  In winter, frogs go in the mud and they sleep.  Frogs hibernate for 7 months.

We saw a snowshoe hare and snowshoe hare footprints.  Showshoe hare stay active in winter.  Showshoe hare are brown but they turn white in winter.  People and other animals can't see them when they are white.  They are camouflaged and will be safe from hunters and other animals.
