Adventures In WES Preschool!

 VINS: Sinking and Floating Hannah, from VINS, visited again today. This time she brought bins that we filled with water and the kids experimented with various objects to see if the object sunk or floated. Each pair of students was given two plastic lids that they were tasked with sinking. The students went from bin to bin, loaded their boats with different objects, and counted how many of each object (foam blocks, rocks, corks, washers...) caused their boat to sink. They found out that the large blue glass jewels only took two jewels to sink their boat whereas it took many more of the small multicolored jewels to do the same.  No matter how many foam blocks or corks they put on their boats, the boats continued to float.

 It's spring!... No winter... Spring Again? NOPE... Still Winter... Maybe spring? Spring is coming - March 5th Snow is gone and winter coats are coming off!   Winter is back! March 25th Snow is back... and DEEP!     Spring again - April 2nd Snow is gone again.  Coats are coming off again, and some kids are even warm enough to take shoes and socks off in the sandbox. NOPE... Still Winter  Snow is back AGAIN and DEEP again! Good thing we love snow  It's been a crazy winter and spring weather-wise. Here's hoping that spring is finally here for good and the warmer temperatures will stick around.
