A Fun Week in KA!

This week we continued our study of amphibians by comparing and contrasting frogs and toads. We also traveled to Giverny, France where we met a funny little frog named Antoinette who kept trying to sneak into Claude Monet's paintings.

We had a fun visit from some Upper School Earth Science students. They had each created a children's book about the rock cycle and shared them with each of us. We loved the books, and we loved being able to touch the rock samples they brought too!

We are continuing our study of measurement in math. We had lots of really fun math activities, and one of our favorites was "Measure Me." We paired with a partner and traced our body outline in chalk. We then had to use our hands as our unit of measure and estimate how many hands it would take to measure our whole body and various body parts such as our arm, leg or waist.

We also discovered that you could fit 65 KA students down the hallway! Mrs. Peterson and Mrs. Magner said they would love to have that many students if they were just like us.

We were very excited to see that our painted lady caterpillars had become butterflies. Mrs. McKinney helped us release them into the wild. They were ready to find their new homes and flew away quickly. We look for them every day at recess.
