12/11/17

The snow has melted, and the sun came out just for us today!  The class began with a bit of excitement, as the caterpillars had formed chrysalises!  The class reviewed what they have learned about the butterfly life cycle and metamorphosis, and were able to observe this stage as we moved the chrysalises into their cage.

We made pomanders today, which are oranges with cloves. These smell wonderful, and are great to have around the house at Christmas time!
Our doe had her triplets on Saturday!  The students got to snuggle and love on all three beautiful bucklings!
The kids used forks to paint Christmas trees!  They turned out beautifully!
The class shared their journal entries, and they were great!  This week, they each studied a different colonial occupation.  They each shared what they learned with the class, and  did a great job doing so!
During grammar class, the group reviewed the different parts of speech.  We used a color coding activity to work on recognizing nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.  They even learned a new part of speech: articles.  We will use our color-coding activity more in second semester!
