VINS - Weather

VINS: Weather Lesson
Hannah visited our classroom again last week to talk about weather. The kids looked at pictures of different types of weather, graphed the pictures, described the weather in the pictures, and made comparisons: more, less, equal. Then Hannah focused on wind. She brought in a wind tunnel and let the kids have fun experimenting with putting scarves and feathers in the tunnel and catching them. The feathers were a lot harder to catch than the scarves. Then they decorated and made small cuts on paper cones and experimented with how the wind caught the cones differently depending on which way they put the cones into the wind tunnel (point down, point up, sideways). Like always, the kids had a great time learning more science with Hannah.

Southworth Park

 Southworth Park We had a fantastic time at Southworth Park on Tuesday. The walk is about a half mile each way and can be long in the beginning of the school year, especially for the younger students. This crew did great! We made it in good time with almost no comments about how long the walk was. Once up at the park the kids play ate snack while Ms. Angelica read a book and then they played for the rest of the morning. Check out the pictures of the kids climbing trees, digging for worms, using the roof as a drum, climbing on rocks, sliding down the hill, and generally having a great time in the woods.
