Air is everywhere

We made parachutes. Air is caught under the parachute so it will slowly float down.

Air can move. We played with bubbles and watch them float through the air.

Me made snowflakes. When the air is cold enough, rain can turn to snow. We actually go to see a few snowflakes this week:)

Air can move things. We made balloon rockets and watched them move.

This baggie can helped us keep the balloon from flying crazy all around the room.

We can capture air inside of a balloon. We can see that air takes up space.

We made whirlers.

When we blew on them, they would spin. Air can make things move in different ways.

Thanksgiving Math

One Little, Two Little, Three Little, Indians...
We counted eyes by 2s and then feathers by 4s.

Look at the math we did with our Indians!

Our turkeys have a lot to talk about since they know how to use "Wow Words"!

These turkeys can count by 5s and 10s!

Learning about Air Pressure


Learning About Air

Did you know that air takes up space?

We can make the stopper pop right out of the end of the syringe by pushing the air through the tube.

We can compress the air into the tube.

We are leaning a lot about air.

The air is so compressed that we can't pull the syringes apart.

Oak Mountain Field Trip

 We had a wonderful trip learning about wildlife in Alabama at Oak Mountain State Park.


 Dead logs are homes for insects and bugs.

Our guide told us all about the wildlife rescue center on the Treetop Trail.

We met the birds that Oak Mountain has rescued.

We found living things in the lake too.

 Lunch was great!

 We love having picnics.

 We found lots of wildlife on our scavenger hunt.

 Look at all of these pine cones.

 The animals at the petting farm were very friendly.


Wow! What a great trip!
