Monarch Caterpillars

Our monarch caterpillars have formed their chrysalises! It was very exciting to watch this happen and the kids have been great caretakers of our little insect friends!

Insects, hamsters and little red hens!

We have been studying insects this week and have added an ant named "See-No" and two monarch caterpillars to our science center. You may want to review insect vocabulary at home: insect, thorax, abdomen, larva, chrysalis and metamorphosis. We also have Jake's hamster "Chompers" visiting us for the week. Our little red hens are almost finished and will come home this week. Check Thursday folder for updates!

Class Garden and Buddies!

This week we will be studying plants! You can help at home by involving your child in gardening projects and reviewing plant vocabulary such as: seed, root, stem, blossom/flower, and fruit. We will continue planting in our class garden, as well as germinating seeds in our greenhouse.
Coffee house was a great success! I was so impressed with all the kids hard work and talent! If you have pictures you would like to share, please email them to me and I'll get them up on the site.
Here are some photo's of our class garden and visiting our 5th grade buddies...
