Vroom! The Starburst Classroom is approaching the finish line of yet another fun, exciting unit of learning. To bid farewell to all things transportation, the girls and boys utilized the best Pre-K tool available: cardboard boxes! Each student had the opportunity to design and build his/her own automobile. Complete with headlights and a paper plate steering wheel, these hot rods are stunning! What would the end of a unit be, without some sort of celebration? The Starburst friends recently learned about the bygone thrill of drive in movie theaters. On a recent chilly afternoon, the children pulled up their cars (and their boxes of popcorn) for a screening of the kid favorite, Cars. How awesome is that?!

You may have noticed some new friends in the Sunshine Classroom. Ladybugs! Our kiddos recently welcomed a ladybug habitat to our Science Center. Along with daily care, the girls and boys continue to have a blast, observing these critters as they grow and metamorphose. Our pals arrived in the larvae stage and, rather quickly, some transformed into pupas. The Sunshine students have made predictions and countless scientific inquiries. In addition, during Choice Time, our pupils have been busy crafting gorgeous ladybug exoskeletons, as well as antennae headbands. Fun fact: ladybugs are not always ladies and never bugs. They’re beetles! Coming up…A campus ladybug parade and the final stage of growth revealed!
