Bubbles and Beans

     Bubbles, Bubbles Everywhere! Our students are having so much fun playing outside with the bubbles they made here at school with soap and glycerin. Our SMART START friends sing songs while dancing, jumping, hopping and running through the bubbles. Blowing, catching and popping bubbles have brought many smiles and lots of giggles for our young learners. Bubbles are truly a childhood staple that never cease to bring endless hours of entertainment for children of all ages.

"There are bubbles in the air, in the air.

 There are bubbles in the air, in the air.

There are bubbles in the air, there are bubbles everywhere.

There are bubbles in the air, in the air."

    The children have been busy taking care of their green and yellow bean plants. On the first day of Spring they planted their bean seeds in a cup of soil to start the growth process for our Summer garden. They later replanted their beans to a bigger garden outside as the temperature became warmer. They have been busy tending to and watering the beans to make sure they grow. We have recently harvested our crop of beans and what an abundance we had! The children, as well as our classroom pet Pilot, enjoyed them as afternoon snack. SMART START friends were excited to take home some beans to share with their families. Our students embraced all of the gardening responsibilities. There is something special about growing your own food and then eating it! Learning to follow simple directions and use basic skills while working together is a great way to bond and help build confidence.
