Past and Future

We finished up this week with a wonderful swimming time at the Y and with learning firsthand about three musical instruments.  Carolyn, one of our wonderful Occupational therapists, took her three daughters out of school for a few periods so that they could play their instruments with us and allow all the children to play them as well!  We learned about the keyboard, the bells, and the flute.  They each explained a little bit about their instrument and then played a few songs.  They were very patient with the children as they took turns playing each instrument.  It was a very musical time and we have many future musicians in our classroom! 


It's so exciting to see the swimming abilities of the children strengthen as the year progresses. Their confidence in the water is increasing as they enjoy themselves and their classmates by 'just playing' in the water!  It's such a great skill for them to possess!


We have started a new discovery unit on Spring, plants, and seeds!  Our onion sets are thriving and our marigolds are growing.  However, our tulips and crocuses aren't growing as well. We'll dig them up on Monday and get out our magnifying glasses and our tools to see if we can determine why they're not growing.  We just planted our own individual lima bean seeds to see how quickly they sprout and to see what that looks like.  We'll use our magnifying glasses to see the different parts of the seed and how they sprout.
