Spring is here

We have had such fun learning about ladybugs and butterflies.  We had live ladybugs (about 100!) in our room for a week.  We studied them very closely using  magnifying lenses and small bug containers. After we recorded our findings~how many legs, spots, eyes, etc., we released them back into God's world.  We learned that ladybugs lay eggs that stick to leaves and that the mommy ladybug normally lays her eggs where there are plenty of aphids.  Please ask your child about the life cycle of a ladybug and of a butterfly.
 

                            Here is our new friend John!  He is having a fun time learning about exciting things in our world and discovering  what we are learning in class. Welcome~John Mayfield
