Pressing out the water |
In Science, we have been learning about paper. We found out that paper comes from trees, and learned how it is made. Students had fun making their own paper using toilet paper (clean of course, :)), and water. To make it, students tore the paper in little pieces and put it in a small bottle. After water was added to the bottle, students enjoyed shaking it until the paper turned to mush. Then, they poured the mixture onto a screen and gently pushed out the excess water. Once the paper dried, students could decorate it.
After Spring Break, the kindergartners will be learning about Living Organism. They will be excited to tell you what living organism we have in our classrooms to observe and take care of.
