I can be a scientist

We have a little pumpkin named Jack that lives in a jar in our classroom. Today we talked about what a scientist is. We learned that scientists notice things and that the word is "observation". We will be noticing changes that are happening to him in the next few weeks. 

Today we sketched what we saw and practiced copying environmental print and labeled some of the things in our picture. I wonder what will happen to him and what changes will occur. We learned that scientists are always wondering and asking questions. 

 This week we have been focusing on the letter T. Ask me to tell you what sound T makes and what starts with the letter T. So far in kindergarten, we have taken a closer look at the letters: S, A, M, T. Please practice these with me at home regularly. 

Reminders:

- We are looking for scraps of red themed textile (fabric) for an art project. If you have fabrics with red patterns and no longer need it and would like to donate it to our class, we will put it to good use. Thank you! Here are some examples of what we are looking for:
