Catching Up

I feel like as we get closer to the end of the year time is flying even faster!  Many of you have asked about the book the train book that came home with your student the other day.  One of the teachers had a set of these books donated to her students.  She had some extra so she shared with us!  Each student is able to take home and keep a book.  The other teachers at RNE love your students so much!

Today we put Lima beans on wet paper towels and we are eager to see how they change.  We have expanded our talk of life cycles to also include plants and flowers.  Your students have been intrigued on how things change and grow.

Along with reading the Very Hungry Caterpillar we have also read The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle.  This is a great book to talk about big and little and the importance of being a good friend.
