Our Butterflies!

We now have butterflies! Almost all of the pupae have now metamorphed into beautiful monarch butterflies! We will be releasing them into the wild today. What an amazing transformation and life cycle!


We later released our butterflies. Here are a few shots from that day.

Animal Pics




We have been taken over by animals!! LOL! I am starting to feel like Noah's Ark. :) We have frogs, hermit crabs, monarch butterfly caterpillars (Almost in the chrysalis stage), ladybugs, tadpoles, Thomas' turtle Albert (I named him that. I wonder why?! :)) and a Horned Devil Caterpillar (Which will transform into a Regal Moth.) Not to mention, Griffin the Gerbil is beside himself with all of our new visitors taking over "his" territory. We will begin our observations tomorrow. Friday, Mrs. Mills, is bringing another animal visitor in for observation and study. Thanks, Mrs. Mills!

See ya later alligator!----,<>,<

Animals and Such....

We are beginning our Animal Unit. I wanted to let you know, if students have a small animal at home that they would like to bring in for show and tell, it is fine with me. Animals must be transported via car! Our bus drivers would hate me otherwise!! LOL!

Love to all! Happy Wednesday! Hump Day!!
Remember 9/11.

Reminder- NO School on Monday. Professional Dev. Day; Progress Reports next Friday 9/20! Sign and return the following Monday.

Write Score this Monday, 9/9!

Write Score is a district writing test, that we send off to be scored, by professional scorers. We use these as guidelines for our instruction, as teachers. Students will receive a narrative or expository essay on Monday and will have one hour to plan and write. This will not count as a classroom grade. We want to do our best though! Have a great weekend, everyone!

Love to all!
Mrs. Cribbs

PS Remember we have FAIR testing on Tuesday, 9/10 and 9/18.
