Cute Little Friend

We had a cute little friend join us for class today!

Imagination Club Prehistoric Mammals

Imagination Club was all about Prehistoric Mammals last week, we had loads of fun! Mr. John read us a book about Wooly Mammoths


Jesse bit his nails.


All the kids were enthralled, Mr. John reads a great story!



Then we imagined that we were cavemen and we had to find a cave to live in



We found a cute little cozy cave, but then we needed a plan to get food, water and clothes



Jesse and Kerith hunting for food



They have a mammoth surrounded!




Jesse chops him up into pieces



They haul it back to the cave and Jadyn cooks him up OM NOM NOM




Harry got wounded in the wooly mammoth battle, we had to dress his wound with big leaves that we found after we washed it off with water, no band aids in those days



Kerith said, "That mammoth was HUGE"


...trapping more food



AAA some other animal is after us now, RUN!






Then we needed a plan to migrate south, the mammoth were leaving and we had to follow our food



So we gathered our weapons



and off we went to find a new cave



Found one!




Cozy little cave




Imagination Club is SO MUCH FUN!!!!

NARRAGANSETT BAY SCIENCE CLASS

Here is the view from our classroom this month at URI Narragansett campus for our science class on how sound travels in the ocean We had a very informative class about animal sounds in the water and how sounds travel

Sounds travel differenty in hot water and cold water


Jadyn listening to sounds


Sounds also travel differently depending on the viscosity of the water and how many particles are in it, she demonstrated with with instant coffee and plain water


Then we all listened to sounds and tried to guess what they were, a lot of us were very surprised by what the sounds were especially the adults


After class we went to the library to see the model of the endeavor, it was a beautiful library and they even gave us hot chocolate and tea biscuits after!




we can't wait until next month and will be very very sad when this serious is over.

We also got a lot of cool handouts this month including a coloring book and this hardcover storybook.
