Brain Breaks

We have been incorporating brain breaks into our day to keep our

brains awake and ready to learn!

Have your child teach you the ones they know...

Living and Non-living

The class has been learning the difference between living and non-living. We learned that living things have certain things in common....

1. Needs food 

2. Moves

3. Grows and changes

4. Make more like itself

We went outside and observed and collected data on some living and non-living things. 

 So cute with their clipboards too!
