Science is AWESOME!!

Science is so AWESOME! It is one of my favourite subjects to teach and explore with my groovy kids!
We are really enjoying science. It is so cool to do hands on experiments! Yesterday we were Super Scientists and we mixed colours and made MINI-Explosions! The "scientists" wore their lab coats and eye protection. We need to be safe! We also used real science equipment; pipettes!  We "sucked" up coloured vinegar and squeezed it on to baking soda to mix colours and watch the cool chemical reaction!







It was lots of colourful, fizzy fun!

Back at School!

Back to School! I am officially back at school! I have been with my "groovy kids" for  seven days according to our 100 chart! We are counting the days to reach the 100th day! 
I am "in love" with my new class! 
They are a wonderful and fascinating little bunch of coconuts. 
They are so ready for lots of challenges! I am excited for what is to come this year! 

Today we did a fun science experiment! Mini- Explosions! 
We used baking soda and vinegar and food colouring. We talked about our science equipment and how important it is and how we take care of our equipment. 

All the scientists were very careful and helpful! They were excited to watch the bubbling and see all the colours they could create! 


Brain Smart Start! 
Everyday we begin our day the Brain Smart way! That means we begin with a movement song to connect us and all our energies together. The brain smart way has been scientifically proven to create biochemistry that balances and integrates brain function, mind and body. 
Our Brain Smart start is part of my practise of Conscious Discipline. In fact our whole school is now practicing this! Everyone does a version of this. It has changed the feeling in our school! 
I will begin posting photos as soon as I have all my students permission forms back! 
I am excited to share all the things we have been up to!
