Christmas Ornaments

We have been making ornaments for our families for Christmas!  We love to make ornaments!  It is fun, and our families are going to love them!  Some of us like painting the best, and some of us like using markers the best!

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving!

We have been learning about the first Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims and the Indians! They were thankful and had a feast, so now we are thankful and have a feast!  We ate Thanksgiving foods on Thursday!  Some of them tasted pretty good, some of them did not.

Today, we got to make a skeleton out of skeleton Cheetos and fill out a graph!  It was super fun!

Leaves

Today, we answered some of our questions about leaves.  We learned why leaves change color by doing an experiment.  We chopped up some leaves, and put them in a jar with some rubbing alcohol.  We put the jars in hot water.  We put some coffee filters in the jars to see what colors come out of the leaves.  We saw yellow!   We learned that leaves are only green because the water from the tree makes them have chlorophyl!  When they can't get water because they are starting to fall off the tree, they don't make the green color anymore.  Then, you can see the real  color.   

We also made leaf rubbings, looked at leaves with a magnifying glass, and learned about colors by seeing what colors and inside black markers.  When you drop water on black marker ink it turns blue!
