The science center in my classroom is always a busy place. Students can observe, experiment, create, construct, classify, compare, and question. Students are natural-born scientists. They are curious and eager to explore the world and everything in it!

Make your science center amazing to enhance their experiences! Plus, I have a few freebies for your center too!

I have learned that if the class is truly interested in something, they will use reading, writing, and math skills as they explore their interests naturally. I observe and listen closely to discover what they are interested in. Sometimes a book or story will spark an interest. Sometimes an interest is sparked by something a friend shared with the class. Sometimes I notice interests by listening to their stories and their play. Our last large group interest was sparked when one of our friends found an almost dead praying mantis. The kids were fascinated with it and wanted to look closer, observe, and find out more. Every time we went outside they wanted to look for insects! I set out some invitations for them to explore insects further. They quickly started looking through books and models of insects to see what they could find out. I started encouraging them to record what they noticed using different materials. One of their favorites was the book Microsculpture:Portraits of Insects by Levon Biss. It truly took a closer look at insects including closeups of legs, wings, eyes feet, etc. it was such a beautiful book. I set it out with materials for them to create their own beautiful portraits of insects showing what they noticed. They are starting to figure out how to try to spell unfamiliar words by writing the sounds they hear in words. They practiced labeling their insects here also. But the insects they got the most excited about were the ones completely covering our milkweed plants! They wanted to know all about them! We looked at a picture of one and made our thinking visible by recording what we saw, thought and wondered. Then we got our Entomologist tools, took them outside and found out everything we could about them! They were amazing and thorough Entomologists! We recorded everything we noticed and then put some of our information in the computer and found out they are called Milkweed bugs! We then did an observational drawing as Entomologists and used our writing skills to label what it is and some body parts. Here is the display outside our room showing everything we learned about them! The other insects all took a backseat to the milkweed bug! I could have done a traditional insect unit, but these kids noticed something in their environment where they could truly experience it, so I followed the direction they took our insect study. I often let the kids direct our curriculum! They show me what they want to learn and I follow their lead and learn along side them. They were much more involved, interested and excited about learning as we followed their interest. Also, this fell naturally into our science standards of living things and what they need! I can’t wait to see what other interests this group will have that we can dig deeper into! They are definitely bringing in leaves by the bucketful... Here are some other things going on in our classroom: We are still working on those fine motor skills! Our finger muscles need a lot of work! Stories are being created in all of the areas of our room as we learn about story making! Here they are encouraged to show math in an open ended way. At the moment they are working on the numbers 1-10, shapes, writing numbers to 10, counting objects and matching to the correct number, counting to 25, subitizing and patterns. They are also learning to notice math all around us and how we use it in our every day lives. Some Fall art inspiration with sunflowers. They drew pictures of Mrs. Coberly wearing Michigan State colors and wrote “Mrs. Coberly loves Sparty!” Then we decorated her door! They loved this! Unfortunately, the Buckeye/Spartan game did not end well for me! It has been a busy place filled with all kinds of learning!

Here is my plan for preschool for the month of October. It’s so nice to have it all planned out and ready to go. Sometimes that’s the trickiest part! The whole last week we will be having fun with Halloween activities and then we’ll start H the first week of November. I’ll probably pick and choose from what is listed each day. I hope to try lots of new Halloween activities (I’ve just recently discovered how fun Pinterest is!) and add them that week. One other tip … I’m starting to collect empty cereal boxes, cake and brownie boxes, yogurt tubs, egg cartons, milk jugs, juice bottles … right NOW so that we’ll have lots of fun things to put in our pretend grocery store during G week. To Print: Click on the calendar below. Click on the “Print” icon (top right) You can also find each month over in the right sidebar. Feel free to email with any questions or great ideas you’d like to share! Happy October!

Our kids love the Spider Plastic Rings that are available every year during Halloween. We usually pick up a big bag and they play with them and we then put some in their treat bags for school.
We ended our investigation by measuring the pumpkins. The kids recorded how tall they were. The kids have learned about the pumpkin life cycle through many books that we have read and some videos from YouTube. We decided to create a display for the hallway that shows how a pumpkin grows. The kids signed up to be on the seed/soil team, sprout team, vine team, flower team, green pumpkin team, and orange pumpkin team. We set out materials and they all created their part to show the cycle. Here is the finished product, along with documentation of what the kids explored and learned about during our pumpkin inquiry. The kids also investigated foods that can be made with pumpkins. We made a list and picked three to include in our Thanksgiving Friendship Feast on Monday. A friend is bringing in chocolate chip pumpkin bread made by their family. We will be making pumpkin pies and pumpkin soup in the classroom to add to our feast. They are very excited to try it all! Our feast next week has taken a very interesting and non-traditional turn! I can't wait to show you what they came up with! They are one creative group of children! The conversation started with a haunted house project a group is working on and ended with a Fancy Masquerade Friendship Thanksgiving Feast! But that is for another post...
