We finished our Arctic unit and have some of the artwork up on the the bulletin board. On Thursday we did an experiment demonstrating how "blubber" helps to keep arctic animals warm. The children put one hand into the "blubber bag" (made by putting vegetable shortening between two plastic bags. They put the other hand into a plain plastic bag. Then they dipped both hands into a bucket of ice water. (As you will see in the pictures friends helped to hold the bags on their hands.) As your child how their hands felt in the ice water. Here are some photos of the experiment:
- Letter "V" - Please help your child find a picture of something that begins with "V" to put on our V page for homework.
- We will begin learning about dinosaurs
- Don't forget that Summer Program forms are due back before Spring Break. Please fill out a form indicating whether or not your child will be at Little Scouts this summer. If they will not be attending this summer please use the form to let us know when his/her last day will be. Thanks
