They began the birdhouse building kits as an introduction to assembling, following directions, working together, and marketing. One house is complete, requiring painting. One of our students loves tools and is coordinated with his hands. One of our teachers introduced the class to sewing. Our teachers and students followed the embroidery directions after an introduction to sewing supplies and using the sewing machine.

Our class has made observations with the microscope slide of cow blood. Students can compare what they see with actual plant leaf epidermal cells from the school garden put on a slide. Our class looks forward to studying more slides to make observations about cells as introduction to Biology. They have learned cell parts in both animals and in plants. \r\nThey love to play computer quiz games based on the texts read aloud as a class. The range of levels of volume and vocabulary in the texts and illustrations helped students comprehend dairy concepts, cow breeds and raising calves. The class has yet to visit with a calf again as they have done in the previous year. Knowledge of the work for producing milk and of dairy products supports lessons in nutrition from their science unit. Students begin to consider the work that is required to produce the milk in their diets and school lunches.
