Butterflies!

We raised small Painted Lady caterpillars and observed as they turned into beautiful butterflies! We released them into the wild to let them thrive in their natural habitat

Have your ever met a barred owl?


We have! Last week, environmental educator, Lesley Royce, came to our classroom to introduce us to her barred owl, Merlin. She travels around to share interesting facts about her owl. She taught us many things that fit perfectly into our Science Habitat unit. Click on the link to learn more about barred owls and check out the picture below!

Attack of the Leprechaun... Ah!

What an exciting holiday school day for us today! At some point this morning, before any of us got to school, our classroom was invaded by a little someone who left little green footprints all over our desks! We even found a note left by the visitor...
 Though he made a mess of our tables, he was kind enough to leave us a treat. Mr. Leprechaun- you are welcome back anytime!  :)
All that is left of 2 full bowls of brew!
Yum!








Thanks Mr. Leprechaun!!!
