In a busy and exciting week, our class took a trip to Branon's Sugar House in Fairfield. We got to do a sugaring activity outside and took a trip into the woods to see how the Branon's collect their sap. We also toured their sugar house and had a chance to climb into their giant tractor.
We also made leprechaun traps, a study in construction and engineering. We set the traps with Green Luck Charms, only to come back from lunch to see he had visited and made a mess of the room. The leprechaun did leave a chocolate gold coin for each student for their incredible effort. We also participated on a leprechaun scavenger hunt.
On Thursday, we also had a wonderful science workshop experimenting with the colors of the rainbow. We made our own rainbows on black construction paper through a neat experiment, and used flashlights, prisms, and mirrors to bend light and look for and create rainbows. It was a fun filled week with lots of great scientific thinking and observations.
