Week of November 3

OMSI Assembly:
We had a fun assembly on Tuesday, November 4.  OMSI came to visit us and taught us about electricity.  Jaimie our presenter talked about the types of electricity and then had kids come up to the stage for the experiments.  While none of the kids from our kinder class were called to go up, we had some of our siblings on the stage.


Jaimie presented some cool electricity facts.


She created static electricity by rubbing the balloon on her hair.



She wanted to have lots of static electricity, so she got a bigger balloon.  The kids loved this part.


Then Jaimie talked about current electricity.  
She talked about AC and DC and how they flow into our homes.  
She also reminded the kids to always being safe around electricity.




Nikolas' sister Althea was able to experience some effect of electricity.


Althea did a great job!


Evan's sister Anna was able to come up for one of the experiments too.


Anna was a little nervous, but she did a great job too!

A BIG thank you to our PTA for providing this assembly to the whole school!!


Turkey Projects:
We worked on two turkey projects on Thursday, November 6.  Of course I did not take pictures until the end.  Managing the paint and 26 5-6 year olds was a challenge.  A fun one, but one that resulted in only a few pics at the end.


Maddy and Gabby worked on thumbprint turkey painting.  
Wait until you see all the turkeys: they look awesome!!!


Alex had a blast painting with his thumb.

Free Choice:
We have "free choice" on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon.  The kids can explore and play with pretty much anything in the classroom which of course includes our toy area and kitchen area.  Our latest additions to our kinder classroom, Zander and Vaughn had a blast in our sensory bin.  


Zander and Vaughn had fun with the split pea sensory bin.



The usual suspects played with the latest Bionicles that I put out: 
Garrett, Evan, Gage, Jacob, Kolton and Samuel all enjoyed playing together.


Nikolas, Lillian, and Aiden had a blast building with the blocks.


S., Miri, and Hannah played dress up and "cooked" something in our kitchen area.


Kernan enjoyed "cooking" in our kitchen.
