Amazing Animals

This week in the Discovery Lab we suddenly discovered that our pumpkin...

was mushy and moldy and quite juicy! 

Our pumpkin has been sitting in the science center for observation the past few weeks. The kiddos have been pretty quiet about it until Monday during center time I heard a little one shout excitedly, "Mrs. Byers, look at our pumpkin!!" And we all rushed over to investigate!

We're also talking about animal adaptations and what animals in Wisconsin do in the winter. We used flippers and goggles to try on a Beaver's strong paws for swimming and clear eyelids for seeing under water.

We made animal masks in art which naturally led to some fun dramatic play.







In math we practiced measuring animals with cubes...






We're building animal habitats in the sensory table...

These animals were invited to a picnic!

There was also a volleyball game with a ticket taker and refreshments.


We're using non-fiction books to learn about different animal adaptations and are drawing animals as part of our research! What brilliant biologists in 4K!
