We are HATCHING in Clark House!

Stephanie Lesnik, from Field House Farm, has been visiting us once a week since May1st to teach us about chickens, eggs and incubation.  We have been taking care of the eggs in the incubator by recording the temperature and the humidity levels each day.  We also "candled" the eggs at week 1 and week 2, which allowed us to see if the chicks were developing inside the egg.  Our first chick hatched today, May 23rd, just in time for the Kindergartener's STEAM Bird share!

PreK

PreK has been learning all about plants, seeds, and roots.  We conducted an experiment with radish seeds to see how they would grow with light versus no light.  We made predictions and were quite surprised with the results.  Be sure to ask a PreK student what happened in just one week.

The PreK students dissected marigold plants.

Kindergarten

Kindergarteners have been continuing their bird study and truly brought the book BIRDS, by Kevin Henkes to life!  One STEAM activity the students enjoyed we called,
 The Battle of the Beaks.

First Grade

First Graders have been continuing to learn about SOUND.  

We made string telephones to communicate with each other over a long distance.

Award Winning Author, Sara Levine visits TCS

PreSchool through third graders welcomed award winning author, Sara Levine on Friday, May 17th to TCS.  She shared her books and each class participated in a hands-on "Bone by Bone" workshop.  We learned so much!
