Kentucky Kids' Day

Fun + Educational = SUCCESS!
Today was a great day! The kids had fun AND they learned a lot! We've been studying animals in the last month and each hallway was turned into an animal habitat. Our hallway was the ocean! (I think it was the best one of all....but I could be biased.....=]......) I think it looked AMAZING!!! The kids loved it, too.

We made jellyfish using cool colors and wrote things that made us special on them. The students learned about ocean animals (vertebrates and invertebrates) in Science and made sea creatures to swim in our ocean....and in Language Arts, we took an ocean plant or animal to create a [fictional] "Why Story" (a story that tells why something is the way it is).
We had visitors today from the Lexington Philharmonic, local artist Garty Bertram, the Humane Society,and many other wildlife experts with REAL LIVE WILDLIFE! (Ask your child if he/she touched any slimy critters today!) I think it was a very successful day! The kids seemed to enjoy it and they learned a lot....and THAT is always a good thing! :)
Have a great weekend!
