Wrapping up our PET STUDY!

Rubber Egg Experiment

We used a glass jar, an egg, and some vinegar to make a rubber egg!! This was a fun science experiment to go along with our letter E and we were able to make predictions on if it would bounce and if so, how high? We found out not very high. The children loved this activity- don't forget to ask them about it!

Ryhming

Phonological awareness is an important skill in learning to read. One way we encourage the development of this is through rhyming. Recognizing rhyming words is a basic level of phonemic awareness and requires that children listen closely for sounds within words.This helps children learn how language works and that words are made up of seperate parts.

This week we played a rhyming game and I had each child pick a puzzle piece with a picture on it and then find it's rhyming match. They had to say what the picture was out loud then went piece by piece until they found a picture that rhymed. The kids loved it!
