Requests from the Panetta/Bruyn Classroom...

Science
We have been exploring with expanding crystals in our sensory bin this week which prompted inquiries about sinking and floating.  We thought we would add a different activity to the list of activities we will be exploring this coming week.  At home, with your support if needed, we would like each child to create something very simple that they believe will float.  Household items, especially recycled materials would be great.  Don't worry if you know it won't float, it's all part of the thinking process.  The teachers will also create some that will sink on purpose!

Art and Science
We are asking for any empty, clear plastic containers for an upcoming art activity.  Pop, juice, water, soap bottles would all be great.  Magnets will also be used for this activity so keep asking your child about the magnet and paint experiment and see what they have to say.

Thank you so much,
Stella Panetta and Melissa Bruyn
