First Explorers had a super fun week full of visitors. Rebekah from 4H did a lesson and experiment involving yeast, where she used a water bottle and mixed warm water and yeast together. By placing a balloon on top of the bottle, the yeast rose and made the balloons blow up! Mrs Cheryl Beck has started a series on Appalachia with the children. This past week, she talked about Appalachian life and showed toys and baskets folks would have used back in the day, as well as played old-timey games with the children including “Hide the Thimble” and “Follow the Leader.” To top it all off she baked delicious molasses cookies for the children! First Explorers also discussed their anger and ways to calm down, and finished the week with a fun pumpkin painting creation.
