Today was a nice warm day for outdoor play, sunscreen and plenty of water! We enjoyed tracking the first "hot" day on our weather calendar, and children watched the outdoor thermometer rise higher than it has risen since October.
We worked indoors this morning on the life cycle of the chicken and played a game that required counting pennies, nickles, and dimes. Some children even practiced flipping a coin.
After a nice long playtime, we came inside and did a science experiment using water and food coloring.
Then we had a visit from the guinea pig down the hall! We fed her carrots and left over bits of our lunches. A friend shared a report about King Crabs (horseshoe crabs) and we learned many new facts.
The Horseshoe Crab:
is a bottom dweller
eats worms
is related to the spider
is used to make medicine for the treatment of burns
