The week before Spring Break, we finished off our unit about bugs. Our little chrysalises hadn't became butterflies yet, but I was able to show the students of one emerging after break! Before break, the student received a special end of semester reward of watching a Veggie Tales movie on a projector!
Also before break, the student each wrote a Bible verse on the unfinished flooring in the cafeteria. It's neat to think that our school is not literally built on the Word!
After break, the students took advantage of the warm weather, and released the butterflies. It was beautiful to watch them all fly away, and a few even landed on the students!
Last week, the first graders went to the Health Fair at BHES. They learned about different food groups, how to stay healthy and safe, and how to exercise!
We started a unit after break about plants. Last week, we learned a little about the parts of a plant by dissecting a flower and labeling it's parts. The students also went outside to see what types of plants surround us at school. This week the students learned how plants grow, and planted their own grass to take care of. They learned about different types of seeds, and different reasons God made plants. The students then used Playdough to mold different parts of a plant life-cycle.
