SAUSD - Early Childhood Education

Our preschoolers participated in hands on activities during the Traveling Scientist Creature Feature.

🛤️ Land, Air, or Ocean?
We’ve been busy categorizing means of transportation. The students .sausd are learning to distinguish between things that fly in the clouds, float on the waves, or roll on the pavement.

Your heart is a super helper that pumps blood all day long—and it’s shaped like the ❤️ we share on Valentine’s Day! Cool, right?” 🫀

Hands on “snow” sensory exploration !

❄️ The 2-Ingredient “Snow” RecipeIngredientAmountBaking Soda3 cupsWhite Hair Conditioner1/2 cupInstructions:Dump the baking soda into a large mixing bowl or a sensory bin.Add the hair conditioner (any cheap brand works, but use white if you want “pure” snow!).Mix it together with your hands or a spoon.If it’s too crumbly: Add a tiny bit more conditioner.If it’s too sticky: Add a bit more baking soda.Play! It should be moldable enough to make “indoor” snowmen that don’t melt.

⚠️ A Quick Note: Since baking soda and conditioner are involved, make sure the kids know this snow is not for eating!

Science is so much fun .❄️ Today, our preschoolers became our youngest chemists as they explored the States of Matter while exploring water that is frozen solid then set out in room temperature.
