Learning About Life Cycles

 
Over the past few weeks the kids have been learning about the life cycles of plants and animals. Together they have built their background knowledge, researched specific plants and animals, and wrote reports on a life cycle of their choice. Here are a couple of snapshots of the kids hard at work!




Literacy Week!

We kicked off Literacy Week this year by surprising the kids Monday morning looking wacky in our character costumes. The kids loved seeing us like this and it got them excited for some of the week's upcoming events.
 
 
We paired up with a kindergarten class and got to bring some of our favorite books to read to the kids. It was such a great surprise to hear the kindergarteners reading to us too!


 



 
Mrs. Homan took a break from her busy job at the county office to read one of her favorite books, Verdi, to our class. The kids really enjoyed the fun plot and colorful illustrations.



We even took the time to mix a little math with our reading. The kids voted on their favorite genre and we created a class bar graph with our data.
