Woo Hoo! FCAT Scores Are Here!

Wanna tell us how you feel, or what you did for "homework" (relief)?

Tell about your DAY At The Museum! Hi Janelle!

I had a terrific experience-did you? :) Tell us what you liked best! It was just like the Smithsonian-it was the John I. Smithsonian! LOL We learned history and science in one day! :) Woo Hoo! BEE Happy, BEE Very Happy! Thanks, Mr. Gentzel!

I missed you!

I'm sure that you had a great day! I hope you're saving your projects for Mother's Day! You'll be glad that you did. Did you see ISS? I missed it. We were out and forgot to run outside.

• Borders is having a craft day for kids today!
• Monday is the Native American museum. If you have any Native American Indian facts, information, or resources to share with the class, bring them in to teach us! :)
• The "Bee Man," our friendly neighborhood beekeeper will visit us on Thursday! Think about your questions and what you've already learned about bees, plants, and agriculture. How about that garden?! We're gardeners! Woo Hoo! I will see you Monday! Enjoy the weekend. Tomorrow is the last free Family Fun Fest at Biscayne National Park until next year.

• Did you get your pictures for your animal classification project?
• Think about your board game! Hmmm, it'll be fun and tough at the same time! :)

I can't believe how much you've all grown and that you'll be flying away-soaring new heights and sights in a matter of weeks! We still have things to learn, explore, and do-you won't be bored!

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Happy Fifth of May!

Enjoy the Mexican holiday. You can also keep looking for your 5 pictures of vertebrates (birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals) and 5 invertebrates (any type: worms, arthropods, mollusks, etc.) to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!

"Bee" Informed About Bees!

Check out these invertebrates! They actually give us some tasty treats. Can you guess who they are? Tell us what you know about these creatures and why they're important to us and who they are? You are right (now I can add this picture)! Thomas was the first to guess it! Wow! Everyone got a 100% on the Bee Quiz! That means everyone got an 'A' and no one got a 'B!' LOL!!!!!!!!!!
