1. Caitlyn Photo Journal 2

2. I am the lead teacher in my room. My TA and myself both give lessons to the children individually, in small group, and in whole group. I tried to capture many of the extensions that the kids have been working on, for example with the pink tower/brown stair, the teen board, and the red rods. We have had some fun life cycle experiments in our class. We hatched chick eggs as you will see! The children absolutely loved them and we were sad to see them go back to the farm. We also just hatched butterflies. Many of the children created books about the life cycle. We just got tadpoles for our class.
