Happy Monday - Miss Harkins

Good-bye Butterflies!

Over the past few weeks we have been studying the life cycle of The Painted Lady Butterfly. It has been an incredible experience watching the caterpillars grow, shed its skin several times, transform into a chrysalis, and emerge as a black and orange butterfly!
We released our butterflies to Mrs. Shannon’s butterfly garden right here on our Chets Creek campus. Unbelievable! Enjoy the slideshow!

Learning from Mrs. Szerba's 5th Graders

Learning from Mrs. Szerba's 5th Graders on PhotoPeach
Our class was invited to visit Mrs. Szebra’s 5th grade class and learn about the study of Embryos and their development. It was an incredible experience for all. Mrs. Szebra’s 5th graders put our class into 4 groups of 10 students and we rotated counter clockwise in and out of her cottage. Our discussion and tour started for some students with a view of the chicken coop, for other students a discussion about the incubator and how it operates. The incubator is a box that provides and maintains a favorable environment for hatching fertile eggs.
We also learned about parts of the egg. Did you know that the shell of the egg is composed primarily of calcium? Immediately beneath the shell are two membranes like a thin skin called the inner and outer shell membrane.
Once the fertile egg is placed in the incubator, cell division occurs very fast. At one of the rotations we were allowed to hold and touch a baby chick. The students loved it!
A huge thank to Mrs. Szerba and her 5th grade class. We appreciate you opening your classroom to help us learn about the study of embryos and their development. Yeah! 5th graders Rock! Enjoy the slideshow.
