We have had an exiting Fall so far here at Holly Tree. Our School Agers are beyond creative and talented!! Here are some pictures of what we've been up to during the past few months. Dr.Green,A Neighborhood Dentist, Came ToTeach Us About Brushing OurTeeth. Aside From All Of The Fun, Our Kids Collected Items For Our Operation ChristmasChild Boxes! We Have Had A Falltastic Time!! Enjoy The Pictures! God Bless!!
Our students here at Holly Tree are extremely creative! They were encouraged to take a box and create something out of it. The children worked together and began to create projects such as a doll house, a mini skate board park, a turtle shell, and various other creations. Here are some pictures of our kids hard at work!
Here are some hard working kids during free play in the Tree House! During free play, the students can go to any center and explore endless possibilities.....
As we were sauntering to the playground the other day, we noticed a frog sitting on the fence, so with a little teamwork... a few students caught the frog and we placed it in a clear critter catcher for observation. The students named the frog "Vela" after a well loved and wonderful 3'S Teacher, Ms. Vela.
(Side Note: Don't Worry.. We did Let Vela Go After Our Observation And She Is Now Roaming The Woods Of Antioch.)
We made predictions to whether we thought it was a toad or a frog and we also discussed the frog's life cycle and we compared frog vs. toad. The kids enjoyed watching the frog hop around and make funny faces at them. They recorded their predictions and information they learned in their journals.
Since we are located near the woods and the Percy Priest Lake, we get to observe various types of animals, birds, and insects. Here are some pictures from our frog experience and some other random nature we have found along the way. I HOP you enjoy! :)
