 Dear Families,

Although it has been a short week at McKenzie Towne School, it has certainly been a busy one in EES!

The students are continuing to explore and learn about the plants and flowers that we see in springtime, and are learning how to plant and grow a seed as well as sequencing the life cycle of a plant.  The students have had the opportunity to plant bean seeds in their science lessons, and we will be monitoring them closely to watch them grow!  

Students are also using the theme of plants, flowers and springtime to support their language arts lessons as they practice related vocabulary, and writing about how seeds are planted and how they grow.  In math the students are continuing to work on sequencing numbers and counting, as well as making number bonds to 5 and 10.  

We also had an exciting opportunity this week to experience another part of springtime - baby chicks!  The Kindergarten classes have graciously invited our students to visit with the baby chicks that they have hatched in their classrooms.  Our students loved seeing the chicks and giving them a gentle pet on their fluffy backs.  Next week we hope to visit with some other new hatchlings in Kindergarten, so stay tuned!
