News and Pics from Week Ending 3/31/23

Hi! It's hard to believe we into April now!

We are learning about the rain forest and taking

an extra close look at the Blue Morpho Butterfly.

Many first graders stayed after school Wednesday

 to visit the Williams Family Farm.

They taught us to tap trees and turn sap into maple syrup.

We had our third PE at the Old Town YMCA. 

This Tuesday will be our last one. 

We did some movement math as we practiced our subtraction.

It was a great week! 

Happy Weekend!

 Hi! We said a sad good-bye to one of our classmates today. We wish him well at his new school. We dove deeper into the rainforest this week. We are helping the Go2 Science scientists solve a hypothesis regarding the blue morpho butterfly. We are looking to see if blue morpho butterflies are only an umbrella species or not. This will help us see if the rest of the umbrella species are in danger from clear cutting. Today we looked at phenotypes to see which butterflies were blue morpho or not and where they lived. So far we are only finding blue morpho butterflies in the rainforest.

We read the book, The Umbrella, by Jan Brett.

We then made leafy umbrellas with rainforest animals on them.
