Week of May 30, 2022


We wrapped up our Butterfly Unit this week...


Ask your little scientists what caterpillars come out of...





Then be sure to ask them what caterpillars wrap themselves into....




And lastly, ask your scientists what they turn into when they emerge!!!



Try displaying your artist's water color butterfly on a window to get the FULL EFFECT of their amazing painting!!!




Releasing our Butterflies into the wild was bitter sweet... ask your little conservationist all about it!!


They were so happy in our classroom and needed some convincing to fly away...




It was so amazing to watch our little one's reactions throughout this entire miraculous experience from beginning to end!!




Bye Bye Butterfly...










Our PREK-3 Planter is looking pretty AMAZING!!  


Sand Box play is so much fun!


Playing outside is THE BEST!!!




Go ahead... TRY NOT TO YAWN with this craft!!







Hope you enjoyed our Butterfly Journals!!



Ask your scientist what the order of the Butterfly Life Cycle is... they will surely amaze you with their scientific knowledge!!


We learned a new writing technique with Number 10... RAINBOW WRITING!!





Afternoon beading was so cool!!



Ask your little author what their favorite thing to do in the Summer is!!





Painting our Summer Trees was so much fun!!


We're working on a surprise that will be coming home soon!!




Show and Tell continues to be a HUGE HIT!


I can't believe we only have one Show and Tell left this school year.









Our engineers finished off the week with some coding fun on our BeeBots!!
