WHAT will happen when I drop the coconut?!

Getting to know the coconut


Coconut tasting-- we compared this sweeter version of coconut water versus the REAL coconut water we drained from the coconut!

Sweetened coconut shavings made into a simple snack! Not the healthiest, I admit, but easiest way to taste the shavings.  Graham crackers, thin layer of frosting, and the shavings!

OF COURSE, we also each got a scrape of the inside to taste.  Some of us didn't care for it as much as the sweetened stuff (haha).

Some of us didn't want to try it, but WE ARE BRAVE in Kindergarten!

Coconut exploration using our 5 senses! Today we only talked about the outer coconut shell. Tomorrow we will discuss the inside of the coconut!


Learning an old British tune! Our classroom pal, Rhyming Bunny, is from England (of course).  Today he taught us this song: "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts"
Check out the muppet version on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z47NljuPBFE





Here is some amazing kinder work produced during science time! 

A creative approach to what the coconut looked like!

Beautiful Kinder letters!

A REALLY hairy coconut, apparently.
