Visiting the Planetarium

Here we are on our field trip!

Wow! Look at our caterpillars now!

Here we are at day 9!

Fly, fly butterfly

flowers everywhere!

Flutter, flutter, flutter STOP!

Drink some nectar there!

Up Next! Living/NonLiving in Science

Students will build their background knowledge after spring break by using the following Padlet! During our literacy center time, on the iPad, students will use the Padlet to learn more information about metamorphosis!

Butterfly/Frog Information

Students will be distinguishing characteristics of living and nonliving things. We will then look at the life cycle of butterflies and frogs.

Yesterday, we visited Mrs. Burks classroom in Fourth Grade to see her frog friends!

She has had the tadpoles since September. Here you can see the tails. They have legs too!

Here are our "future" butterflies. The Painted Lady caterpillars are slowly getting bigger. They will shed their exoskeleton a few times. We will be observing these little caterpillars with a close eye!

Delivery day at HyVee!

With a lot of help from adults, we crossed the busy streets and made it over to HyVee.

You can see us working with the dietitian to put the QR codes throughout the store.

Thanks again to the dietitian at HyVee for making this possible!

Yummy Yogurt Parfait

The district's nutritionist visited us today to make a yummy snack!

First spoon tablespoons of yogurt into a cup.

Add some fruit. 

Add some granola.

Enjoy!

National Nutrition Month!

We have completed our informative writing and presentation on a variety of foods! Kindergarten Health, Reading and Writing outcomes were integrated as students created little info-spots on why we should eat healthy! We will be posting the videos, via QR codes, at the West Broadway Hy-Vee on Friday afternoon. Look for the codes in the produce and meat sections as well as the bakery. Way to go Kinders!
Here are a few posted here:

Buddy class-- finishing our exploration on Jackson Pollack

Wow! Did you know that Jackson Pollack was known as a Drip Painter?
He would drip the paint with sticks or put holes in the can of paint. In Science, we are exploring Force and Motion. Students worked with their Second Grade buddies to create large canvas paintings (thank you to our wonderful parents who donated so much paint and sheets!!!) inspired by Mr. Pollock's work.
