The last two days everyone in the class has had an opportunity to visit the computer lab. This week students were given an opportunity to become familiar with the computers and explore Kidpix. Next week we will begin a project in the lab.

As part of our discussion of living things this week we have been observing earthworms. We talked about things they would need before we created a habitat for them. We now know a list of five things that all living things need: water, food, air, light, and space. We talked about the fact that the earthworms actually stay away from the light (and we even covered our container with black paper so they would tunnel near the sides), but things they rely on for food like dead leaves and plants, do need light. Today everyone was able to complete an entry in their science notebooks about the needs of the earthworms.

FIELD TRIP ON FRIDAY!! The weather looks great, but chilly. Please make sure your child has a jacket and perhaps a hat and mittens. We will be outside from 9-11.
