We Are Scientists!!

The learning that took place this week was truly magical! We made countless discoveries and it all started with a book...and the three primary colours.


To set the stage, we read the book Meet Einstein by Mariela Kleiner. We looked closely at the pictures to help us figure out what a scientist does and what tools a scientist might use.  We learned that scientists observe, investigate, ask questions, take notes and make discoveries.  

    

With this in mind, we put on our lab coats and goggles and began to explore the different stations in our new "Kindergarten Science Laboratory."

Touring the "Kindergarten Science Laboratory"

After completing the tour, the scientists began to investigate and make discoveries.

After making all of our discoveries, we wondered what we should do with all this new information?  What would a scientist do? We went back to book Meet Einstein to try to figure out what our next step should be.  We noticed that Einstein wrote down and recorded what he learned.  Since we are becoming such great writers, we thought we could share our discoveries by writing our own science book.

Writing the introduction of our Science Book.

If you are curious about what we discovered, please come to our Celebration of Learning on Thursday March 17.  Our book will be ready to read and the scientists will show you how they made their discoveries. 

I would like to thank Mrs. Sagert for being such a fantastic co-scientist and for helping create an environment of wonder and curiosity in our afternoon kindergarten room. 

Another great big THANK YOU goes to Ms. O, Mrs. P,  Mr. V.  and Mrs. Cullen.  Without your very helpful hands, we would not have been able to make such incredible discoveries.
