...to a bookshelf near you! I love looking forward to a new book about a favorite character, but right now I am looking forward to four new books starring three of my favorite characters!!! Check these out and add them to your wish list.

little einsteins

This week during science workshop we learned about scientists and the tools they use. We learned that scientist study the world. They ask questions, experiment and record their findings. We had fun learning how to use scientist's tools. We practiced using a hand lens, saw a butterfly and bee leg in a microscope, used a stethoscope to listen to a friend's heart, practiced using an eye dropper and compared the weight of things with a balance scale. At the end of the week we asked some questions about an apple, experimented by cutting apples open and recorded what we found in our science notebooks. Ask these little einsteins what kind of scientist they would like 

to be when they grow up and their answers will include zoologist, doctor, geologist, paleontologist, volcanologist, meteorologist, 

astrologist, botanist, arborist or marine biologist.

Fiona was so excited to share her science kit from home.

Andrew the Zoologist.
