A Peek At Our Week in the Cherry Blossom Classroom!
This week was all about SEEDS! We learned about what is inside of a seed, how seeds spread and why they need to, the three things a seed needs to grow, and how they grow from a seed to a plant! We took some time to use a magnifying glass to look at different types of seeds close up. And we planted some seeds in our plant viewer! We can’t wait to see what happens next!

Operation Chrysalis!
Our caterpillars formed their chrysalises this week! We were so excited to watch the entire process: from the caterpillars forming their J shape, shedding their exoskeletons one last time, and forming their chrysalis. We also moved our future butterflies into the butterfly house so we can continue observing.

Enrichment Spotlight!
We love Friday mornings when we practice ASL with Ms. Emily! This week Ms. Sam taught us a song about seeds and Ms. Emily taught us how to sign it!
