Our kindergarten students are learning all about the life cycle of a butterfly! They created beautiful butterfly artwork to show each stage of the life cycle, and the excitement continues in the classroom as they observe real caterpillars transforming into butterflies. Watching God’s creation ...change and grow has been such a fun and memorable hands-on learning experience for our little learners!

First grade has been learning all about animal adaptations through exciting hands-on activities! Firsties explored which “beak” was best for getting food by using spoons, tweezers, and clothespins as beaks to pick up different items (food). Firsties completed a data table to help determine ...which beak was better adapted to the environment.

Students also learned about four different adaptations that help animals and plants survive. The camouflage activity was a class favorite! Can you guess which butterflies were easier to catch as predators, the green butterflies or the patterned butterflies?

What a fun way to explore science, problem-solving, and discovery together!
