Neighborhood Walk
Here our some of the building and signs we found while on our walk around the neighborhood.
Welcome to our neighborhood!
The children have been working on building our neighborhood in the classroom out of cardboard boxes.
They have been building houses, restaurants, gas stations, and signs.
Enjoying the Weater
We have really been enjoying the nice weather. We enjoy playing on the playground, painting with Mr. Bryan, going on walks around the neighborhood, and going to the track and gazebo.

All our Senses
We used our 5 senses to explore our surprise! We smelled, touched, listened, and then looked and found it was PIZZA! They were excited to use their last sense of taste to try our pizza. Our pizza came from our neighborhood pizza store Jockamo’s.
Duck Pond
The children in room 6 have really enjoyed the nice weather the past couple of days! We took a walk to the duck pond and played on the playground with toys from the classroom.
Goldfish Taste Test
One of the children were looking through magazine and saw a Cupcake Goldfish ad. Ms. Michelle asked if he had ever tried the Cupcake Goldfish, and he said No. During meeting we asked who has ever tried that flavor of Goldfish and most of the children said no but were interested in trying them.
So, we decided to have a Goldfish Taste Test!
We started with the children looking at the five different packages and predicting what the Goldfish would taste like. After making their predictions they tasted the five different Goldfish. Here is what they said they taste like:
Cheddar Goldfish:
