Hello everyone! Happy Spring (even though it does not feel like it!) If you have not already heard...we have some little class pets! In Writing, we are studying Frogs and their life cycles, and now we get to watch their life cycle happen for the rest of the school year in our classroom! Ravens have been LOVING interacting with these awesome creatures and being scientists who hypothesize, make predictions, and make observations!
After April vacation, all of my little "Scientists" will be getting their own Mealworms! We will be introducing the Mealworm life cycle tomorrow, and after vacation, all Scientists will be observing their own!

April 16-20: NO SCHOOL for Spring Break!
