Animal Kingdom

A wide variety of wildlife showed up today and transformed our classroom into an Animal Kingdom. 

Mrs. Bonaventure brought the Science Lab to our Animal Kingdom classroom. Students investigated the concepts of force and motion. They were challenged to design a method for moving a book across the floor--without touching the book itself. Our little inventors came up with creative ways to get the book to the finish line.

Students explored motion as the force of gravity pulled objects down a ramp. Would the cars roll farther on the carpet or on the floor?

Wind power moved these rolling objects across the floor.

Homecoming Week

Every day is a dress-up day during Homecoming Week.

Monday we kept Sleeping Beauty company and came to school dressed in pajamas.

Tuesday, our Tacky Tourists took an imaginary trip to Disney World.

 

We were right at home in our Disney-themed classroom.

 

Pumpkin Patch

What a beautiful day for a field trip! Early Childhood students enjoyed the sunshine and fall(ish) weather with friends and family.

 

What does the perfect pumpkin look like? Orange? White? Big? Small? Stem? No stem? Everyone had their own criteria for selecting the perfect pumpkin to bring home.

What was the most exciting activity? Swinging? Ziplining? Driving? Climbing? Everyone had a different opinion.

I'm remined of the book we read in class, The Pumpkin Patch Parable, by Liz Curtis Higgs. The farmer grows a variety of pumpkins. At the right time, he choses a pumpkin from his garden. He transforms his creation by cleaning out all the yucky stuff,  putting a smile on its face, and placing his light inside. 

In the same way, God transforms our lives by cleaning out all our yucky stuff and making us a new creation. Then He puts His light inside of us so that we can be a light to those around us.

"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. " Matthew 5:14-16 NIV
