Our teddy bear picnic in January was a big success! We invited our favorite teddy bears to join in the festivities. We put blankets on the floor, ate peanut butter and honey sandwiches, tasted berries, and read stories about bears.
The picnic inside with all our friends was “beary” fun!
Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum
From the comfort of our own school the children had the opportunity to see both live and preserved animals, insects, plants, and fish. Exhibits were designed to teach the children the life cycles of each species examined. Thank you Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum for a hands-on discovery experience that each child loved.
One teacher described the experience like this:
We had a special visitor come to our school from the Bean Museum. He talked to us about different baby animals. We learned that some babies grow to look just like their parents, (like humans) while other change a lot! We saw eggs, chrysalis, and some stuffed baby animals. We also got to pet a real python named Cuddles, a tortoise named Thunder, and an African millipede named Smaug. What a neat experience!
