Four Winds Finale

Today was the Four Winds Finale on Ecosystems. We had an on-site field trip to the stream behind the school.  Students spent 30 minutes at various stations and had the opportunity to watch a puppet show about invertebrate adaptations, explore the stream bed for signs of life, paint or draw a stream picture, and work in small groups to design adaptations for an insect out of common household items.  We appreciate the volunteers who organized this event and were there to run the stations!  Thank You!




The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Last week students had the opportunity to visit Mrs. Mathieu's Spanish class to hear original stories her Spanish students had written based on The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.  The stories were written and read in Spanish and then translated by the authors into English.
