We had another fantastic Friday! We had an amazing session with Mr. David today. You will be so proud of us when you come see the show! Please send in any extra costumes you have!
Also today we were scientists. Each student received a plate with a thin layer of milk. They put 2-3 drops of food coloring around the milk. Then using a Popsicle stick dipped in soap. Then ta da! We put the Popsicle stick in the food coloring and made it move around the milk. The kids loved doing it! Then we took the mixed up milk and painted with it. Some kids chose to use paint brushes while other chose to press the paper in the paint and watch it transfer. In the afternoon the students made necklaces and bracelets out of noodles in the colors of Kwanzaa to finish our studying for the week.
Next week we are starting Hanukkah. On Friday we will eat potato latkes, apple sauce, and chocolate gelt. If you would prefer for your student to not eat one of these things or to have a limited amount please let me know.
Also I would appreciate it if everyone could send in a package of 3-5oz plastic cups. We are running VERY low and will be out soon!
Don't forget to send in your self-addressed envelope with a stamp to receive a holiday greeting card from your child!
