Discovery Day!

We did some fun things for discovery day!  We planted our avocado pits... "pit-planting" into cups of water!  We used toothpicks to poke into the sides and then placed them in a cup.  When we asked the kids what they needed to grow a plant, their responses were:  water, sun, and love!








 


We also made Snow-Dough!  We got to mix the ingredients and we added glitter to make it sparkle! Make sure to ask me about it... I got to bring a bag home with me today!

GREEN GUACAMOLE

Today's cooking activity was making guacamole! Everyone participated  in making this yummy creation including chopping up tomatoes and red peppers; squeezing the limes for their juice; tearing up fresh cilantro; and mashing the avocado.  The best part was eating the guacamole for our afternoon snack.  YUMMY! 
  




















ART CLASS 1-12-11

In Art class on Wednesday, Mr. Cicetti discussed and demonstrated how to paint a snow scene.  Many children chose to do this activity.  Working with clay, drawing with scented markers, and doing Kidpix on the computer were other art activities offered.
