Bubbles Galore!

One of the best parts about being a Kinder is getting to explore the world of Science.

With the help of Carnegie Science Center our room got to take a closer look at bubbles and explore them hands on.

 

First the students learned what made up the bubble solution. Next, they got to blow bubbles using different shaped wands.

 

Each student was given a cup with a straw. They got to experiment how the bubble changed with the new tool.

 The result was that they were able to make much larger bubbles! Some were as big as their entire head!

 

 

 Hands down the last part of the experiment was the most fun. We covered the cups with a piece of cloth. This made tiny bubbles and foam like you would see if you added too much soap to your washing machine. They had a blast making a mess!

Do You Want to Find Our Snowmen

Since the Frozen craze is still running wild (I am not complaining I love it too!) I decided to make a school wide Olaf hunt. With a little thinking, I came up with new words to the tune of "Do you want to build a snowman?"

To go along with the song I made life size characters including Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Sven, and a pretty large mountain with castle.

Throughout the school I created about 14 Olafs to post in the hall. Different grade level teachers picked a grade level color. Then for each holiday they cut out holiday shapes and write different skills on them.

Now when students walk down the halls they can look for their grade level color and practice their skills. It is a fun and easy way to get students engaged in practicing while also keeping them quiet in the hallways.  The best part is the kiddos can choose to work a grade level up for a challenge or a grade level down to challenge themselves!
