We have found out that 'a' has a short sound in words like apple and avocado and a long sound in apricot and aoli. Thank you to the wonderful parents that sent along something for us to eat that starts with the letter a.
During fruit snack time the children have been getting excited about the variety of apples they have.
Science - a is for air pressure
Try this experiment at home. Put a glass bottle in the refrigerator for an hour. Wet a coin and place it on the top. Put your warm hands on the cold bottle and observe what happens. Add a comment to the blog with your observations.
We discovered that the molecules in cold air are closer together. When they are warmed up they move around and take up more space. The coin lifted because the warm air needed more space than was in the bottle.
