The best day to candle an egg is on day 7! We took the eggs out today and held a light to them so that we could see inside. If an embryo has started growing then you can see the blood vessels that have formed. We even saw a shadow of the baby chick moving inside! 🥚🐣#weareeggcited
Mrs. Schultz is starting a school garden this year! The second graders are thrilled to be part of this exciting project. This week, we planted marigold seeds. The students took them home to care for them and will bring them back to school to plant around the new garden. We can't wait to see our flowers bloom just as beautifully as our students have this year!
During this last stretch of the year, our 2nd graders are referred to as Pre-Panthers. This is an important title as they prepare for the transition to Prairieview in the Fall. Our preparation heavily focuses on executive functioning skills like organization and whole body listening. This is a very exciting time for our learners!
