PRE-K PLAY
RAINBOW FISH
The Rainbow Fish spent the week investigating and participating in pumpkin activities. They ordered pumpkins from biggest to smallest and used nonstandard units of measurements to measure the height. The Fish explored and investigated parts of a pumpkin including the inside of the flesh and seeds. They did a science experiment to see if pumpkins float or sink. It was a great week.
