URI Learning Landscape

On Wednesday the children went to URI for their third grade field trip. They learned about different mammals, ways of protecting and keeping our water clean, how to plant seeds, composting with red wiggler worms, and different types of area insects. A special thanks to Mrs. Golden and Mrs. Goldstein who were our class chaperones.

Later in the day the children had an opportunity to play freely on Wicklund Field. Thank you to Mrs. Penhallow for organizing this activity and thank you the parents who came to supervise. It was a wonderful day for everyone!

Hatching Chicks

For the last month the children have been learning about hatching baby chicks. They have learned all about the parts of the egg and how they play an important role in the life of a developing chick. After twenty-one days the chicks hatched and the students learned how to care for newborn chicks. The class even named a few of the chicks......Oreo, Camouflage, and Starship. After two weeks it was time for the chicks to find a new home. Our class will be a little quieter now that the peeping is gone!
