We were thrilled to welcome Petey back on Wednesday. He brought lots of shells and rocks back from his beach trip for us to examine. He even found a starfish!
On Wednesday we released our Cabbage White Butterflies in the butterfly garden. They especially loved the lupin.
We have also been busy planting our Rainbow Garden. All of the classes at the ELC are working together to plant this rainbow garden. We will post more photos when the garden is complete.
We watched a video called “Characteristics of Plants”. The video talked about plant life cycles, different species of plants, and photosynthesis. We also watched a time lapse video of a bean plant growing.
Several students have been busy in the Creation Station this week. Check out Kaleb’s eyepatch.
We used digital microscopes to examine and photograph plants. We have also been observing the growth of our lima beans this week.

Hi Whales!
I have a funny story to tell you about the starfish Petey gave Brendan. We brought it home and put it by our front door (because it was really smelly!), and our dog Duke ate it!!! And the next morning, Duke threw up pieces of that starfish all over our kitchen floor! Gross huh?!?
Just wanted to share that story with you

Dear Ms. Stephanie,
Ha ha ha ha ha. That was a funny story. Don’t worry, a lot of times our dogs throw up too.
Love,
The Whales
