untitledDivision 10 read Pete the Cat Saves Christmas by Eric Litman.  This book is about how Santa falls ill on the night before Christmas and calls on Pete the Cat to deliver all the presents.  Pete shows that giving your all in the spirit of Christmas is the totally groovy thing to do.  Here are some pictures of our favorite parts of the book:OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

kittenDivision 10 read the book Kitten’s First full Moon by Kevin Henkes.  It is the story of a kitten that thinks the moon looks like a bowl of milk.  Then we did a science experiment.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERASupplies: Milk, Pie Tin, Detergent, Food Coloring, Q-tip.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERASteps: Fill the pie tin with enough milk to completely cover the bottom.  Add several different colors of food coloring to the center of the pie plate,  Dip a Q-Tip in dishwashing detergent and then touch the Q-Tip to the center of the pie plate.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAHere’s what we learned:  Milk has vitamins, minerals, protein and fat.  Mixing detergent with milk causes a chemical reaction to occur.  The soap molecules race around the milk trying to catch up with the fat molecules.

SplatDivision 10 created these  adorable pictures of Splat the Cat.  First, we used black paint to make a silhouette.  Next, we dragged a fork outward to mimic Splat’s spikey fur.  Then we added paper details. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
