Cookie Monster's Alphabet Soup

Today we played 'Cookie Monster's Alphabet Soup' on the Smartboard. We are beginning to work on some vowel sounds. During table top activities the students had a chance to make their own words with alphabet soup.













The Doctor is in!

We have turned our dramatic play centre into a Doctor's office. They are really enjoying it!

The EGG-periment

Today we had a talk about how certain " drinks" affect the "enamel" on our teeth.
We asked the children what drink do you think is best for your teeth and what do you think is worst for your teeth. Here are some of the answers we received:

"Pop will turn your teeth yellow" - Jake

" Milk will keep your teeth white because milk is white and it is healthy for you! "- Jake L

" If you drink pop everyday, your teeth will fall out of your face, my mom said so! " -Ryan

"Milk and water is best, there is no sugar in it "- Ruby

" The juice, water and milk are healthy, but juice and milk are best!" - Alex


We took 4 hard boiled eggs and placed each egg in a container with a different liquid. The drinks we chose to experiment with water, coke, orange juice and milk. They are located on the light table and we are going to keep them in the liquids and check them everyday to check if we see a difference.
