Ms.Soulas' Classroom

Wow! What a busy and exciting week! Here are some highlights... On Monday we had our final yoga celebration and mindful feast! Each student had a place in the circle where they shared food provided by our incredible yoga teachers, Ms. Lynea & Ms. Tai.

The entomologists are excited to watch the metamorphosis of their mealworm larvae!  We had our final session with our Artist in Residency.

Here are some highlights from the week... The entomologists began their study of insects with mealworm larva. Each kiddo will be studying their larva while we learn about the life cycle of and traits of insects.  In writing, the students have been publishing their realistic fiction stories.
