More ABC Countdown Fun

We have been busy with our ABC Countdown to the last day of kindergarten! Below are some of our favorites from the last few weeks. This past week, on Q Day, we visited Ms. Eufinger's first grade class and had a chance to ask them lots of questions about first grade. Make sure to ask your child what he/she learned about!

A - Animal Day

B - Bubble Day

C - Crazy Hair or Sock Day

F - Flashlight Day

Q - Questions for First Grade Day

ABC Countdown Fun!

We have been having so much fun as we count down to our last day of kindergarten! Favorites so far have included N (New Name Day - our names included Light Bulb, T-Bone, Hockey Smiles, and Charizoar, among many others!), J (Joke Day), K (Kick Off Your Shoes Day), and C (Crazy Sock/Hair Day). We also had fun on D, Draw With Chalk Day, and had a chance to make our names really big! Hope you enjoy our photos below. We are looking forward to our remaining letter days!

Zoo Field Trip

We survived the rain yesterday for our field trip to the zoo! The kids loved every minute of it and didn't seem to mind the rain at all! We saw lots of great animals, and we even got to meet some up close at our zoo class. It was a great day despite the rain!

More ladybugs!

We now have 12 adult ladybugs in our ladybug land! We have been watching the red in their shells darken as they grow older. The kids have been amazed to watch them as they grow and change. See our previous blog post from earlier this week for more ladybug pictures.

New Arrivals :)

We came to school this morning and discovered we had some new arrivals. We had four ladybugs this morning in our ladybug land that hatched from the pupa stage. The kids were so excited to see them!

We still have the majority of our larva in pupa stage right now, but we are watching the pupa change each day as they get closer to the adult ladybug stage we all know and love.

We are hoping we get the chance to watch some of them change from pupa to ladybug during the day. As you can imagine, our ladybug land provides lots of excitement each day. You also may or may not have children wanting to raise all kinds of insects in your homes to watch them grow and change. :)

Welcome to Ladybug Land!

Meet the newest members of our classroom...our ladybugs! Although right now, we are discovering that our ladybugs don't look quite like the ladybugs we know and love. That's because they haven't gone through metamorphosis yet! We have been learning all about the life cycle of a ladybug and even tried going through metamorphosis ourselves. 😊 We are excited to watch our ladybugs grow!
