week in Nature/Science, we will finish our unit on mollusks as we read about
Moon Snails and Abalones. We will
complete an experiment to demonstrate Resonance, and the children will use
shells and clay to create a Mollusk for their Ocean Boxes. We will also begin to read about
Cephalopods. We are also planning to use
cheerios to make little birdfeeders to place near the gardens this week.
In Phonics/Language, we will practice
narration as we read “The Princess on the Pea” from The Classic Treasury of
Hans Christian Andersen. The
