The Academy of Natural Science

The most exciting news this week was our field trip to The Academy of Natural Sciences.  When we arrived to our destination we saw a giant T-rex awaiting our arrival.  There was a special exhibit of dinosaurs at the museum, "Dinosaurs Unearthed."










Besides the dinosaurs, we also visited the Outside In exhibit. We got to pet some animals like a legless lizard (a snake if you ask me), a turtle and a hissing cockroach.





At the end of our trip, we went to the butterfly room.  One lucky student had a butterfly land on her shoulder.



This week in math we learned about capacity.  This was a brief introduction to gallons, quart, pints and cups.  To help with understand the concept, we made a super hero Gallon Man/Girl.  Pay close attention to his arms and legs.


It is finally beginning to look like the weather is warming up.  Keep in mind that some days are chilly in the morning and warm up by afternoon. Since the students go outside for recess, it is a good idea for them to have a light jacket or sweatshirt.  Also, it is during this time of the year where supplies begin to run really low.  Some of the things we are low on are dry erase markers, pencils, erasers, glue sticks and many students have ripped folders that had been given to them in the beginning of the year.  If you are able to supply your child with any of those things, it is much appreciated.

Have a nice weekend.
