Wednesday and Thursday have been jammed packed with special guests and so many more animals, fun science activities and yummy snacks.
Wednesday morning during SPARK Outdoor Games, the children got their exercised and learned about camouflage while searching for tiny plastic lizards in the grass. After a good run we all went inside to learn about worms. The teachers and students started the lesson making edible dirt; a popular snack the everyone loves, especially eating the gummy worm. When the kids actually got to observe and study real worms there was not one child who was tempted to snack on a live one.
The guest in the morning was a young fellow, Ben Johnson, who began raising chickens at the age of 15. At 18, he has over 50 chickens. He brought 3 of his most friendliest birds for the children to feet, pet and hold. Ben brought a dozen farm fresh chicken eggs for all teachers. The kids enjoyed Ben. They asked great questions not only about the chickens, but about his other job and school. It was a fun time.
In the afternoon, our favorite presenter, Justin, from Science Tellers, entertained the children with a story that included elements of Science. A very interactive presentation. Justin is great with the kids.
The fun continued during the end of day reading and popsicle time. Four St. Bernard dogs sat with the students as they read and cooled off eat their pops. Enjoy the pics. More to Come!!!!
