paint the shamrock green,,,

,,..What happens when you add white to a colour?... Let's find out....Stir the white and green together.....

....and the green paint turned into a lighter green coloured paint!
 
We talked about the Food Guide Rainbow today. We sorted some "play food" into the correct food groups, and talked about how many servings a 5 or 6 year old should have from each food group every day. We also talked about foods that are "treats or once in a while foods" and that are not part of the four food groups  (ie. donuts, cake, sugary treats). We have also been tracking the snacks that we eat at school every morning, to see which food group our snacks are from.
  

Adding white

Today we experimented with adding white to colours. Some of us had an idea what would happen, and some of us were pleasantly surprised!  We observed that the more white we added to a colour, the lighter the colour became. And each time we added more white, it continued to get lighter and lighter! This is how our little project looks so far....we are not quite done. We need to let it dry, then we'll finish up tomorrow. 

We welcomed a new student to our class this week.

  Some of the kids found this print outside at recess. They were quite interested in it. Was it from a bear? a wolf? a dog?  a rabbit?   hmmmmm...... Look how big it is compared to one of the girl's hands!
