Tuesday Talk Special Visitors

Today in Tuesday Talk 3rd graders came down to discuss Pop Tops for Ronald McDonald House campaign. 3rd grade is asking everyone to save the tiny top of soda cans. This tiny top has more aluminum in it than the entire can. The top can be recycled and sold. The money raised will then be donated to the Ronald McDonald House to help families in need of a place to stay.

Kindergarten Visits Upper School Biology Teacher

Mr. Michael Rice

Today kindergarteners went on a field study to the upper school. Biology teacher, Michael Rice, invited kindergarten to explore his classroom of various reptiles, amphibians, arachnids and fish. He talked more in depth about the rainforest and the various species found in each level. As a special treat he fed his Jackson's Chameleon crickets for breakfast. It was very exciting watching that very long tongue catch the cricket.

The Rainforest Grew All Around, All Around

 

A Rainforest at Hammond School?

As you can see in the pictures, many rainforests are under construction in kindergarten! We can't wait to show them off to you at Open House this Thursday, April 8. Swing on by!

Kindergarten visits the zoo to learn more about the rainforest.

What a great trip the kindergarteners had this week! Everyone enjoyed learning more about the rainforest and exploring the zoo to find animals that come from the rainforest.

Working together to see how long an anaconda can be.
