Totally Awesome Tie-Dyed Tea Towels, brought to you by the letter "T"

Last week the letter of the kindergartners' week was "T" and that could only mean they were tie-dying with tea, English Breakfast Tea to be precise. They took fabric remnants that had been pre-soaked in an alum-baking soda solution, tied them up with rubber bands, and dunked them in a lukewarm and fragrant tea bath. The result- some pretty groovy designs made by even groovier scientists/artists.

Shadow and Sound, brought to you by the letter S

The letter of the week was "S" for the Spring Valley kindergartners, and that meant that their science activity had to begin with S, and it did. They began by cutting out shapes from black construction paper, taped them to sheets of waxed paper, and fixed them behind the screen of a shadow puppet theatre, made from a recycled FOSS kit box. With the help of two 6V batteries they had an instant Shadow Puppet Theatre! But that's not all, alongside the theatre was an assortment of percussion instruments that students could choose to add sound to their dramatizations.
