Today we had our butterfly release party with Mrs. Standish's grade 3 class as well as Mrs. Lord's Kindergarten students! It was not very warm or sunny, so the butterflies did not want to come out. With a bit of help, we got the butterflies out of their cage and were able to hold them before they flew out into the wilderness! It was a lot of fun.
Last week we got some new classroom pets- some caterpillars! We are fortunate that every student in our class has his or her own caterpillar to observe as it turns from a Larva to a Chrysalis and eventually into a butterfly! It is neat to see them change so quickly!!
Today all of the Grade 3 students came together to celebrate their Social studies unit on the country of Ukraine.
Yesterday they went through stations- decorating Ukrainian Eggs and bread as well as making pierogies (taught by Miss Laszuk's dad, Mr. Laszuk!!!) Today we all had the chance to try the pierogies we made as well as some Ukrainian borscht. |
