The Pre K Bumblebees brought their sketchbooks to the Pratt Sculpture Garden as an introduction to our new artist of the month: Alexander Calder! They talked about sculpture in public spaces, how it’s made and what it’s often made of. 

Here are some photos of the Butterflies in action! They did a study on Dinosaurs where they learned s about their habitats, practiced pronouncing their names, and spoke about their similarities and differences. Here the butterflies created their very own “me” size dinosaurs.

Over the past month, the Caterpillars have been learning about plant and animal life in habitats both exotic and familiar.

 After learning about the water cycle, Caterpillars watch the rain come down outside their window.

The kids decided what they want to create to help make money for our Hollow Block Fundraiser. They have been hard at work pickling, making cupcakes and yellow & black striped bee-like popcorn along with Mother’s and Father’s day cards!  We have the booth open at Brevoort every morning 8-9:30am for the entire month of May!  (Online donation component to come…) We will keep going until we reach our goal of $5,000 (2 class sets)!
