Look at These!

Field Trip


Our field trip to the greenhouse
and pizza hut was a lot of fun today.
The students got to use all their senses;
they touched, felt, smelled and listened.
There were a lot of plants to explore.
We got to feel plants that had
soft fuzzy leaves, some that were spiky and
some that felt rubbery. Many of the plants
smelled very good. We even smelled one
that smelled like chocolate mint! Yummy!
We also got to look at many different kinds
of trees. Some that were like Christmas trees
and did not lose their leaves-even in winter and
many fruit trees; some with little apples on them.

The eggs are hatching!




June 13th

Today when I stopped at the school to check on the eggs
I was greeted by 3 fluffy chicks. They were cheeping and
looking for some food and water. Another egg had holes in
it where another chick was trying to hatch out. By lunch
time we had four little chicks cheeping in the classroom!
