Butterfly Art

Ms. Caitlin’s students completed butterfly art projects by using collected rocks, leaves, flowers and sticks. This project was a great way to further develop fine motor skills while developing an appreciation for our Earth.

Planting Seeds

Ms. Daisy’s students began their studies of plants. They learned about how water and sunlight help seeds grow into plants and began the process of sprouting beans. Over the next few weeks they will watch their beans sprout into plants and further their knowledge about plants and root systems.

The hoot

Some first and second grade humor during reading class…

Teacher: Let's define the word "wait."

Student: Is this like the waiter at a restaurant? 

Teacher: Yes, “wait” has many meanings, but it does mean to serve food at a meal. To wait on someone, or to serve someone. 

Student: Why are they called the waiter when we are the ones waiting???

*class giggles* 

Student: My sentence is, “I will wait for my waiter to wait on me.”
