Look What Happens....
....when you have "parking lot" recess? An unexpected research project breaks out when everyone starts looking for pill bugs, known affectionately as a roly poly. Science or serendipity? Maybe a little of both.

Nursery Field Trip
Studying flowers, trees & the plant life cycle really blossoms when we visits Landmark Nursery. It's so close we can walk there with a little help from our Coppell PD friend, Officer Rachel. At Landmark, Mr. Mike shows us flowers, roots, seeds, berries and trees, then shares his vast knowledge with plenty of interesting stories too.
Do these snapdragons really snap?
Walking back to school with our gift of a petunia.

Across the Ocean
Some of you know I had the ultimate experience at spring break by leaving the beautiful Turks & Caicos beach to visit a school filled with eager young learners. It was very moving (on many levels), and motivated me to help the children on this small underpopulated Caribbean island. If you have easy read books your child has outgrown, please send them my way and I'll get them to these wonderful children. Their classrooms are in need of supplies!

Open House
Excitement and pride are everywhere at Open House. We had a great turnout in K2 to admire all the hard work.

Green Eggs and Ham
Celebrating Dr. Seuss is always fun but things get rather interesting after reading GREEN EGGS AND HAM. This book is custom made for a taste test! First, we talk about how to make the eggs turn green. There are many interesting theories and then one student suggests we use BLUE food coloring. That generates another discussion about why BLUE is the right choice. We also predict if we'll like the green goodness and create a picture graph. No wonder Dr. Seuss is beloved. He made reading and learning fun!!
