We had a fun celebration of Arbor Day at the Cole School on May 23rd. Here are a few pictures from our gathering.
Arbor Day for Kids

I'll leave you with this joke:
What did the beaver say to the tree?
It’s been nice gnawing you!

Butterflies!
As part of our study of living things and habitats we observed the life cycle of the butterfly and then let our friends fly off on Friday. We really enjoyed them in our classroom!

LS4. Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity 2-LS4-1. Use texts, media, or local environments to observe and compare (a) different kinds of living things in an area, and (b) differences in the kinds of living things living in different types of areas.
I'll leave you with this joke: Why wouldn’t the butterfly go to the dance?
It was a moth ball.
sorry the other half of the class was on the other bench and I deleted the picture by mistake :( |

Habitats!
Our class is so excited! We started a new project this week. We are going to research different habitats and become park rangers. There are six groups that will be researching wetlands, woodlands, grasslands, oceans, rainforests, and desserts. We had to pick roles for our projects (don't forget to ask us what our role is) and then the research began. Take a look at us in action during our first week! Mrs. Sirmaian came in to help us kick it off!
LS2. Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
2-LS2-3(MA). Develop and use models to compare how plants and animals depend on their
surroundings and other living things to meet their needs in the places they live.
Clarification Statement:
