The kindergarteners have been exploring magnets in Science. They’ve done experiments to see what magnets will and will not “stick” to. Students learned that magnets stick to some metals, but not all. They’ve learned that magnets work through water, wood, and plastic.
We also recently did a unit on local, wild mammals. First students learned what a mammal was, then we talked about what “local” meant. We learned about bobcats, coyotes, deer, fox, porcupines, black bears, oppossums, beavers, raccoons, and river otters, to name a few. I purchased plastic figurines of these animals and the children had fun using them in imaginary play.
