Another great week of learning! We continued learning about colors and color mixing by making blue slime with borax, water, and glue. We then mixed yellow slime in with it to see that blue and yellow make green.
For cooking, we made rainbow toast by "painting" bread with tinted water then toasting it!
We started learning about the various ways to sort (by color, attribute, size, etc.) and practiced with Legos.
We talked about absorption by putting red, blue, and yellow water into three containers and putting a strip of paper towel between those containers and the empty ones between. The colored water "climbed" the paper towel and moved into the empty container next to it. As the colors moved into the empty containers next to it, they mixed with the other primary colors to form a model of a color wheel!
We also froze colored water into ice cubes then put two primary colored cubes into a cup. We added salt to speed up the melting and watched to see them mix into a secondary color.
So far we have learned the letters Ii and Aa and will introduce the letter Mm next week. We also have learned the numbers 0 and 1 the last two weeks and will move on to the number 2 next week. We have been working on reading color words along with the words "I" and "a". We will work on the word "am" next week.
Have a great weekend!
