Since it was cold and rainy on Wednesday when the gym was booked, we spent a half hour doing yoga before we went outside for an abbreviated recess. The kids loved it!
Bee-Keeping Beth brought in her bee-keeping equipment and her children's old bee-keeping suits for the kids to check out and wear. They learned all about how bees make honey as well as how it is collected. They even got to taste honey from Beth's own bees! Delicious!
Spring fun down at the River We had a fantastic morning playing down at the river. The kids waded ankle-deep in the water, built towers with rocks, built mud castles, and generally had fun in the water and mud! We also saw a grasshopper hatch!
A REAL snake came to visit the classroom! Hannah, from VINS, visited again last week and brought a garter snake for the kids to see and even touch. We learned about what they eat, where they live, and how they shed their skin as they grow. The highlight of the day was the very funny puppet show and getting to touch the snake. Snake Bingo What do garter snakes eat? Through the puppet show and the Bingo game, the students learned that garter snakes prey on mice, fish, frogs, crayfish, snails, slugs, and more. Snake Skin When snakes grow, they shed their skin. Snake Habitat Game The REAL thing!!
