Language
We learned some new vocabulary words this
week with our liquid rainbow experiment
demonstration:
 Safety glasses
 Density
In our Bubble demonstration we were
introduced to even more vocabulary words:
 Water and surface density
 Molecules
 H20
Faith Work
Our learners were introduced to bean
scooping and napkin folding which is part of
our Practical Life program of the Catechesis
of the Good Shepherd. These activities help
with concentration in preparation for a
prayerful life! Next week we will begin our
chapel lessons!
Math/Science
Our learners were very attentive for the Liquid Rainbow
experiment and for the bubble demonstration! Class
discussions focused on how important our bodies are and
how we need to take care of them by getting lots of
exercise, sleep, healthy eating, brushing our teeth and
taking a bath or shower every day! We took care of our
baby dolls by giving them a very soapy bath!!

Creative Art/Work
It was fun to break up spaghetti noodles to use
as bones for our “spaghetti person.” Each
learner chose different fabrics to use as clothes
for their individual “paper dolls.” Pens, glue,
stampers, stamp pads, markers and paper are
some of the materials the children use to create
their art in our art center. Wonderful structures
continue to emerge with the magnetic tiles.
One learner built a house with separate rooms!
We also had a house for dinosaurs, houses with
ramps and cars all made with magnetic tiles!
Social/Emotional
The learners are settling into our daily
routine, getting to know each other better
and enjoying the many activities in the
classroom. They are also working on
using their manners by asking their
teacher “may I pleased be excused” when
they are finished eating snack and lunch!
