Favorite Book Day

It has been a fun last week of Kindergarten! On Monday, we had surprise readers from around the school come to our classroom to read our favorite books. Here are some of the guests that came to see us...

Mr. Bill

Miss Perez

Ms. Johnson

Mrs. KK

Mrs. Phillips

Mrs. Brown

Mrs. Ciupak

Miss Donofrio

Mr. Dygan even brought a turtle to share!

Slime Time!

Another guest scientist has come to visit! Mrs. Archer (Kat's mother) brought gloves, goggles, ingredients, and even a special surprise to the classroom. When asked to predict what happens when you mix cornstarch and water, the children came up with all kinds of ideas. After reading Oobleck by Dr. Seus, Mrs. Archer had the Panairs work together to combine cornstarch, water, and green food coloring to  create our own Oobleck!! Mrs. Archer explained to us that the Oobleck that we made is known as a polymer. Polymers are simply different forms of plastic. We discovered that being a scientist can be very VERY messy, but so much fun!! Thank you again Mrs. Archer!!
