Ms. McCall

We have had an AMAZING teacher cadet from Chapin High School in our classroom these past few months!  This past Monday was her last official day with us.  We celebrated her time in our class by writing a book about all of the reasons why we love Ms. McCall!  We have thoroughly enjoyed having her in our classroom and we are all going to miss her so much!  We cannot wait for her to come back and visit!  Here are some pictures from her last day.

Caterpillars

We just got finished having eggs and chicks in our classroom and this week we got live caterpillars!!  We are hopefully going to get to see the life cycle of a butterfly happen in our classroom.  Over the past few days we have realized that our caterpillars are definitely getting bigger and fatter.  One is even starting to crawl up to the top!  Once the caterpillars reach the top they will begin to make their chrysalises.  Here is a picture of our caterpillars.  Stay tuned to see what happens next!

Eggs and Chicks

It has been such an exciting first week back from spring break!  We got three eggs to put in our incubator on Monday.  This was the perfect time to get eggs because we just learned all about oviparous animals.  Today we walked in the classroom and our first chick had hatched out of his egg!!  It was so fun to see all of the kids' faces light up when they realized we had a chick.  Right before we started packing up to go home we got to witness the miracle of a chick hatching!!  It was amazing that we were able to see the second egg hatch!  We have had a great time documenting our observations in our chick books.  Here are a few pictures.
