Davis Farmland Trip

The children had a blast at the farm. We enjoyed learning about all the animals, touching them and exploring most of the day!  They were exhausted by the end of the trip! We would like to thank everyone for making our trip a success and LINK for providing us with the money to pay for transportation!  Here are pictures from  the farm!  

On our way to the farm! 

Listening to Farmer Moo-riah and the farm rules. 

Petting goats and sheep.  We learned that one way to tell them apart is that the goats hold their tails up and a sheep holds his tail down. 

Going on a hayride! 

A deer's antler. Wow look how big it is! 

Sofia found a sleepy little guy! 

Feeding the animals.

More Animals to feed. They were hungry this morning. 

They loved the soft, fluffy kitten.

We had a great time!  

Butterflies

We have enjoyed observing, recording and experiencing the life cycle of a butterfly.  Today we returned from the long weekend to find out that the butterflies hatched from their chrysalis.  We recorded the changes that occurred throughout the weeks.  Today we gathered outside and said our goodbyes to the butterflies.  The kids were both excited and a little sad to see them go.  Here are a few photos from the event.

Memorial Day Program

The children did a great job singing "God Bless America".  It always seems to bring a tear to my eye listening to the little ones  sing this patriotic song. Here are a couple pictures incase you were unable to make it. 

Strike a pose

The kids wanted to share some creations. 

Digging for Dinosaurs

Today the children had the opportunity to learn about fossils and dinosaurs through a science program sponsored by LINK.  The Boston Museum of Science came into school and provided the children with a hands on opportunity to explore fossils.  The children were able to touch and look at fossils.  They also had the opportunity to move like a dinosaur as well.  Below you will find some pictures from this fabulous event!
