Starlight

Owl Babies by Martin Waddell is always a Circle Time favorite for our Starlight friends. This helped to kick off a new unit of learning: owls! The students learned many facts concerning owls habitats, sleep patterns and what they typically feed on. While practicing fine-motor skills and cutting, our pupils crafted their own paper bag owl nest (check it out in the sensory table!). Lastly, using flashlights and their own “bird sense,” our kiddos embarked on an owl scavenger hunt throughout the school. The Starlight owlets are always in full flight!

 

 

Blast! The Twilight students have recently begun to explore the wonder of mixing different substances: mainly baking soda and vinegar! Our children observed that when the two are combined, carbon dioxide is generated, creating an eruption of sorts. During an afternoon science session, our kiddos utilized play dough to form their own mini volcanoes and accompanying landscapes. Each pupil then had the opportunity to use eye droppers and create that magic combination of chemicals. Soon, the classroom was booming!
