WAY TO GO!

Not only did the first graders catch (and release) butterflies, but they caught enough compliments in our Catching Compliment baseball mitt for another celebration!

CELEBRATION DATE:  Wednesday, May 30th
BRING A STUFFED ANIMAL TO SCHOOL

Parents, see you at Field Day on Thursday!

Butterfly Release

The Scientists in 1-McG have been watching the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly.  As the sun poke through the clouds on Friday afternoon, the 1st grade scientists released the butterflies to let them enjoy nature, beginning with the Memorial Day weekend.

Every student was able to experience the tickle of the butterflies' legs or wings although Mrs. Mc didn't get everyone on film.  (A few students were absent, but the scientists will share their butterfly "data" with the vacationers upon their return. )  Enjoy our pics!

WE ARE VERY EXCITED

Since we are "budding" scientists, we noticed many changes at our season photo tree and its surroundings.  
We were so excited to be able to go outside and notice how especially green it looked this morning!

Mrs. McGettigan loved all the flowers the students were so kind to bring to the classroom on Wednesday for Teacher Appreciation Day.  Wow!  All of us our enjoying the beautiful flowers found in every corner of our classroom now.  Mrs. McGettigan is very "appreciative!"

We are also very excited about the Barnyard Moosical this Friday!
Here were are, practicing some of the sounds and movements!
