4 winds

Each month a parent/grandparent volunteers will be coming into our classroom to lead an interactive science lesson. 4 Winds is a state wide hands on nature program. This year's theme is Cycles:Changes Through the Seasons.   Last week, we had Grandma Jan and Aaron join us to help stregthen our understanding of the life cycle of insects. We enjoyed an informative puppet show about a butterfly and grasshopper and then explored insects close up.  Students also learned new vocabulary words, which they were encouraged to use in their writing about what they learned.  

Our volunteers are looking for help throughout the year.  The months in bold are dates where it will be only Grandma Jan, who is interested in working with YOU! If you'd like to join her, or see a topic that interests you specifically and have a plethora of knowledge about it, please let me know and I will put you in contact with her.  Thanks for considering joining this hands on interactive lesson taught by parents and family!
