Bubbles are such a fun way to begin experiments and explore, when we read “Soapy Scientist” we will predict what could happen when we do the same experiment in class and how it is the same or how it is different. When we start discussing the things we are curious about around us we will refer back to the book “I Wonder”. This book is about what we wonder about, and how everyone has different questions about different things. We will be putting together our very own name puzzles and identifying the letters in our names. In art class, they have been working very hard on creating a ladybug!
