Direction Sign Posts

Today is another Mystery Science Experiment/Activity. The kids have had a great time with this new resource. It is turning into one of our favourite science go to's.  

This activity was to make a sign post with the 4 directions.

NORTH  SOUTH  EAST  WEST

Moon Phase

This is a little experiment we did to help us understand the phases of the moon, and why we see them. This was an experiment from Mystery Science.  The video didn't work out the greatest, but the little raCOONs had a blast doing it.

Construction Time

Santa Claus  gave the boys building set and it was time to put them together.

Show What You Know

Here are the Videos for todays, Show What You Know . They're of  Mr G, and Mr W playing the piano. They have been working really hard at learning the note names, getting all the counting right, and they have started to add in some dynamics this year. They are very excited to share their pieces they have prepared.

Mr. W -Yankee Doodle

Mr.W- Come Follow Me

Mr. G - Zoom Zoom Witches Broom

Baby A's Chart

Baby A, made her very own chart today and filled it all in. There was no help from anyone at all.

Seasonal Night Sky

Another Mystery Science day. We learned about the seasonal constellations, and why we see different ones at different times of the year. Then we made a star box to let us know which ones to look for at different times.

Sundial

Mystery Science has been a life saver this year for quick, easy, well informed science lessons. I haven't had to worry about adding any other explanation to the lessons because they are so thorough, and all the experiment materials I have had on hand. Its been wonderful. Plus a big bonus is the kids love them. Today they made their own Sundials to tell what time it is with the sun. They even adjust to your altitude and the month of the year.
