We have been having a fun and busy couple of weeks. The children have been learning all about the Rainforest, South America, and Birds. We also had our very first Primary Field trip to Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary.
The children are fascinated by the Rainforest, including its 4 different layers. The children love learning about all the many animals which inhabit each layer. They especially like talking about the various noises each animal makes.
As we study South America, we have learned a lot about the diverse countries that make up this continent. The children each have their favorite fact and can tell you all about South America:
“Because South America has the Rain Forest.” ~Mattias
“Brazil, because it has a larger river.” ~ Avi
“Brazil, because I like it.” ~Miras
” I know there are Jaguars, sloths in South America. I like Uruguay and Argentina because they play soccer.” ~ Matis
“I like South America because there are baby jaguars. Fruit comes from South America.” ~Elizabeth
“I liked learning about the rain forest. I just like learning about animals in the rain forest. My favorite is the jaguar, because they are really pretty.” ~ Leyla
“I want to go to Brazil because I like the shapes of their buildings.” ~ Winter
“I like the Toucan because I like it when it flies.” ~ Llana
“My favorite thing about South America is the forest.” ~Hudson
“My favorite thing about South America is the rain forest and the toucan.” ~Will
Our first Primary Field Trip was a huge success! The children had so much fun and were such great listeners. We saw goats, turkeys, peacocks, ducks, llamas, pigs and more birds. The children were able to explore Gilcrease and interact with various animals. We had a wonderful time!
We hope you each have an amazing and safe Spring Break!
