They emerged...on the weekend :P

So, 2 years in a row the caterpillars decided to emerge over the weekend :(
I have been like the crazy lady with my camera trying to "catch the moment". Oh well, I'll try again next year!

Caterpillars to Butterflies....ALMOST!

In the Science unit 'Daily and Seasonal Changes' we have been discussing the changes that occur with Spring and Summer. We have been learning about the changes a caterpillar goes through to become a butterfly...aka...Metamorphisis!!!
The following video is of our classroom caterpillars that have already formed their chrysalis. The chrysalis was shaking like crazy today and we were on our way to computers so to make sure we didn't miss anything I set up my camera to capture the 'magic'!!! As you can see in the video, the caterpillar was working really hard to change but never broke free. I hope to be able to capture the release!!!
ENJOY!

Just a couple things!

Hi everyone,
I hope you are enjoying your long weekend. I know I am! Played some tennis, planted potatoes, garlic, and onion (good Ukrainian staples) and doing some fishing...I love this time of year!

Just want to remind you that there will NOT be a spelling test this Friday. I will hand out the words for the following week this Friday.

I do need your field trip forms back as soon as possible. We are looking for parent volunteers for our trips. If you can help out please let me know. (and ignore the spelling mistake on the form...lol....noticed it after I photocopied them!) :)

For now, that's all! I'm heading out to enjoy the day and hope you are too!
Happy Long Weekend!

Ms. Heshka

Mother's Day Tea!

Ok, so I had this whole speech thing to tell you guys at the beginning of the tea and because I am an emotional wreck I had to cut it short.
I do want to say that you all are amazing! You have the toughest job in the world but the most rewarding!! I have spend 152 days with your child and have become very attached to each and every one of them. When I seen their faces when you arrived it made my heart melt. They worked SO hard to make this day perfect and I think they did a FANTASTIC job!
I'm sorry I didn't take more pictures. Time flew by and before I knew it it was time to go.
Thanks again for coming and especially for raising such awesome kids!
