The Moonbeam Class has taken flight with new discoveries in nature!

Fusing technology and science, the Moonbeam kiddos have been watching a live action camera of an eagle’s nest on our classroom computer. Two parent eagles have been keeping a handful of eggs warm for many days. Just recently, they hatched! Our students could not contain their wonder and excitement. Many children made observations and posed scientific questions. One boy said, “The babies are like a duck. It’s got feathers on its back.” Another child observed, “I think that eagle is the mama. Maybe the dada went to go get food.” One girl asked, “What’s the big eagle doing? Feeding the babies? And what’s that red stuff?” So much fantastic learning!

The Moonbeam students are celebrating Read Across America and the magical books of Dr. Seuss. First, they read the classic Green Eggs and Ham. Later, our boys and girls experimented with color mixing and made their own green paint! Also, the class read Ten Apples Up on Top. They took part in a mathematics activity and then…they bobbed for apples!
