Dissolving science lab

What would happen if the gingerbread man didn't have the fox's help to cross the river. Could he swim across safely? Today we worked on a dissolving science lab- we learned what dissolving means and we predicted what we thought would dissolve all the way, dissolve a little bit, and not dissolve at all. With our science buddy, we tested a sugar cube, drink powder, a skittle, and a piece of the gingerbread man. Some of our results surprised us! Mst of us thought that the sugar cube would not dissolve, but it eventually did! Ask your child what happened to the items we tested. 

Ahoy, matey!

Our dramatic play area has been turned into a pirate ship! Here are some things I heartfelt rom the play in this center:

"Captains don't dig!"

"Quartermasters get a share and a half, so I get more treasure."

"I spy land ahead from the crow's nest!"

"Swab the deck, it's chore time!"

"Sleep on your hammock, I will sleep on the floor next to the goat."

"The captain is the most special, so he gets his own cabin."
