The first grade halls are filled with ideas about how we can protect our planet. Be sure to visit their hallway and read their great ideas.

This mama duck and her ten ducklings were spotted on the pond behind school this morning. Our PreK class took this video, When I went out to see them, they were nowhere to be found. I think she has them tucked away safely somewhere in the bushes. Click here to watch a video.

Last year, we witnessed three of our pond turtles dig holes and lay their eggs. We have been hoping to watch this miracle again this spring. Pre-First scientists saw this turtle walking up the sidewalk early Monday morning when it was raining. Could she be on her way to lay eggs?

One of my kindergarten scientists brought me this treasure. Do you know what it is? Some of my scientists thought it might be a sponge or coral.

It is part of an ant hill.

I reviewed the states of matter (solid, liquid, and gas) with my kindergarten scientists. We discussed how one state of matter can change to another.

Then we placed liquid whipping cream in a jar and churned it, by shaking the jar, until it became solid butter. We drained off the buttermilk and ate our lab!

Try this at home and add honey to your butter.
