The kindergarten classes are studying dinosaurs. In order to appreciate how tall dinosaurs were, the students used helium balloons and string on a board. They released the string, which was wrapped around a board, to the height of the dinosaurs and then stepped back to see how high the balloon was. It was a great way to illustrate the size of dinosaurs.

The second grade made twirly birds from straw and paper and dropped them from the balcony to watch them twirl to the ground. This was an experiment in conjunction with a science lesson on balance.

The boys love to read and especially love it when a dad comes in to read a favorite book to the group. If you would like to read to your son's class, please contact his teacher to set up a time!
