Young scientists in Ms. Warren and Mrs. Alexander’s class had fun exploring water beads using their five senses!
We practiced scientific inquiry by observing dry water beads, making predictions about what would happen when they were exposed to water, and voting on which color to dye the water. Students created a graph and used tally marks to count and compare our votes. 📊
After the water beads absorbed the water, we used our five senses again to observe and describe how they changed!
This hands-on STEAM activity encouraged curiosity, observation, prediction, counting, and scientific thinking—and it was enjoyed by all!
GOLD Objectives: 20a. Counts
20b. Quantifies
22c. Represents and analyzes data
24. Uses Scientific inquiry skills
26. Demonstrates knowledge of physical properties of objects and materials

Positive affirmations in Ms. Johnson & Mrs. Robison’s Class!

Our little learners at Just4 Developmental Laboratory started their day with movement, music, and positive thinking! The children had a wonderful time singing and dancing along to Snoop Dogg’s “Affirmation Song.”

As they moved to the music, they practiced powerful affirmations such as believing in themselves, trying their best, learning from mistakes, and knowing that they matter!

This fun experience supports Teaching Strategies GOLD® objectives by encouraging children to regulate emotions and behaviors, participate cooperatively with others, listen to and understand increasingly complex language, and explore musical concepts and expression. They demonstrate traveling and balancing skills! Develop confidence, independence, and positive approaches to learning.

In Ms. Johnson & Mrs. Robison’s class, we want our children to know that their words have power. When children learn to speak positively about themselves, we help nurture confident, resilient, and joyful learners.

Sing it. Dance it. Believe it. You are GREAT!

Students in Ms. Thomas and Ms. Beard’s class enjoyed a fun sensory and fine motor activity while exploring this week’s color yellow! Students painted their hands yellow and created their own handprints. Then, our little scientists used magnifying glasses to take a closer look and compare their handprints, noticing how everyone’s hands were different. This hands-on activity encouraged sensory exploration, observation skills, color recognition, and fine motor development while making learning fun!

Our Pre-K friends in Mrs. Shoemaker and Ms. Odom’s class had a learning adventure as we explored the amazing ways our bodies help us learn about the world! 📚✨ We listened, looked, smelled, tasted, and touched as we read and learned all about our five senses.
