On Wednesday, we put hard boiled eggs in a cup with coke early in the morning. When the kids took them out the eggs were dark and brown. They then got to scrub the eggs with a toothbrush to clean them (just like we do with our teeth).
We studied teeth this week. On Friday, the Blinn dental students came to do some rotations with us on teeth. The kids learned so much. We also made a super fun chart about teeth.
Our motor lab is AMAZING! Thank you so much Miss Busa for writing the grant! This week, our class is at the Wii. The kids had an amazing time and then of course, I took a few extras of other things going on out in the POD.
Miss O'Brien found a pretty cool lesson on clouds via Pinterest. Here are the photos from the lesson.
If you put shaving cream on top of water in a cup then top with blue food coloring, when the clouds (shaving cream) gets too heavy, then it will rain! The kids loved it!
Megan has been in full responsibility. In science, she has been talking about objects in the sky. Last week the kids made stars in a jar. They LOVED it.
I am a 4th year teacher at Forest Ridge Elementary in College Station, Texas. I started teaching in 2008 and taught 2nd grade for a year. Luckily, my principal thought I was a kindergarten teacher even when I didn't. I moved to kindergarten and after the 1st day I was hooked. Right now, I eat, sleep, and think kindergarten. I love the growth, the hearts, and the personalities of kindergarteners. I also enjoy spending time with my family and my friends. There is more to me than teaching kindergarten but it is my heart. I was also just accepted to the special education masters program at Texas Tech University. It is an online program and it's focus is educational diagnostician.
