NO SWIMMING ON THURSDAY 2-10-11

There will be no swimming class for EDP on Thursday February 10th.  The Middle School (6th grade) needs to use the pool at this time for a special activity/event.  We will be doing a cooking activity that we had planned for last week when we ended up having a snow day.  Stay tuned!

COOKING CLASS 2-9-11

In today's cooking class, we discussed how one usually makes cookies--by baking them.  The cookies we made today were called, "no-bake cookies".  The ingredients for this recipe included oatmeal, sugar, cocoa, milk, and butter.  Before we started,  we discussed whether each ingredient was a liquid or a solid.  When we got to the butter, some children identified it as a solid and some identified it as a liquid.  The children then explained how it can be both!  These cookies were easy to make and yummy to eat!

PRINTMAKING IN ART

In today's Art class, Mr. Cicetti demonstrated how to do print-making using the side of a piece of card board.  Children were making prints with patterns, letters, and various designs.

Friday!

Today we had a fun day in computer class!  We got to color a picture, on KidPix, of a rocket ship.  Then we had free choice on the computer!

It was a blast!!!!

ANIMALS IN WINTER

Today we read a story about how animals survive in the Winter.  The book explained we read explained 4 different ways animals cope with the cold Winter weather.  Some animals migrate; some hibernate; some hide; and some change colors.  Following the story, we made birdfeeders using bagels, lard, and bird seed.  When our birdfeeders were finished, we headed outside to hang them for the birds to enjoy.
