Mrs. Deffinbaugh's class has been learning about sound.  We are experiencing sounds, making connections between sounds and the source of the sounds and differentiating between loud and quiet sounds.  We had to use our listening skills to hear spring sounds and try to guess what made the sound. We really liked the nature sounds! 

The students  were busy making observations  on Day 1 of our catapillars.  They are excited  to watch them grow.

Preschool received caterpillar's learn about last week so students have been exploring using magnifying glasses and collaborating on what will happen next with the caterpillars.
