This Week we did a UNIT STUDY on Potatoes!
Everyone had a lot of fun this week in the variety of activities we did- from digging potatoes out of a 'garden' to using potato stamps and talking about geometric shapes to learning about the growth cycle of potatoes.
But I think the favorite of this week was after tested raw and cooked potatoes- the kids got to experiment with and make their own potato recipes and eat them !
This week I was even more impressed by how the kids are growing, learning to work together, gaining longer attention spans and getting more interested.
They are also learning to articulate and narrate to me.
It is neat to see how they are getting better at formulating thoughts into words!
It is really going well and I can tell a BIG improvement in all of them just in one month.
