This week 2nd graders at Prairie View learned about the different kinds of birds that are attracted to bird feeders. For an activity the students designed their own bird feeders to attract seed-eating birds!











Happy National Custodian's Day!


To kick off science Prairie View third graders were asked to bring in something from outside that we would spend science class learning about. One student brought in a monarch caterpillar that we decided to keep as a class pet. After holding her, the students decided to name her Velcro because her feet stuck to whatever she was on. Students were responsible for picking milkweed for her each day. She went into her chrysalis over the weekend. Students enjoyed looking at her chrysalis with a flashlight to see the outline of her wings. Exactly one week after she went into her chrysalis she emerged as a beautiful butterfly. The students had great fun observing her each day!
