It was exciting to our start science today. We talked about what scientists do and we realized that we are scientists in training! We will use the ideas in the picture beside this as a guide and go through each of these aspects in detail to learn about each part. Today we focused mostly on asking questions and talking about what good questions are.
Our question today was "What materials are attracted to a magnet?".
We made some predictions about what materials would be attracted to a magnet and which ones would not and why.  Tomorrow we will finish the experiment and will come up with some answers to our question!

In gym, we learned some new games that we could play outside during recess and we even talked about how to invent good games.  One game we played was Follow the Leader and we practiced moving in different ways (high, low, quick, slow, sideways, backwards etc).  We also learned a game called Traffic Lights that we could easily adapt for other areas of interest. Ask your child what the game was and brainstorm how he/she would change this game to make it his/her own.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow for the Parent Night!
