SCIENCE LAB - HOW THINGS GROW

 In this science lab, we took a look at how plants grow.
We looked at several different types of seeds so we could see that they come in all shapes, sizes and colors. We talked about all different types of plants, the parts of each and what their jobs are.
Then we discussed the three things seeds need in order to grow - soil, water and sun.
 Finally, the fun, hands-on part. Each child filled a jar with soil,

 added a variety of seeds and watered their planted seeds. Lastly, each jar was placed in the windowsill to catch some sun rays. We are all looking forward to Monday, so we can see if we have any sprouts!

BIKE DAY

The weather was perfect for our Bike Day this year. Warm, partly cloudy and a gentle breeze to keep those pesky gnats away.
 On your marks,  get set,  GO!!!!!!!   
The children loved seeing their friends' bikes and other riding toys.

The emotions ran high during the riding time. There were faces full of determination,

and faces of pure joy.
When legs became tired from pedaling or scootering, the "resting area" became a popular spot to hang out and talk with friends.
