On Thursday, Kindergarten students headed to Niabi Zoo in Coal Valley. As always, the students enjoyed the bus ride (for some of them, it is the first bus ride they have ever taken) and they also enjoyed the sights and sounds of the zoo. Some students were able to feed the giraffes and other students were able to watch the elephants eat. One of the highlights of the day was the students being able to hear the Lion roar and then pant very loudly, trying to show his dominance. Students also loved listening to the Monkey screech loudly trying to show off in front of the large crowd of people. Students, chaperone's and some teachers were also able to enjoy a ride through the zoo on the train where they were taken past many of the animal exhibits.

Kindergarten students at Washington School had the opportunity to watch caterpillars grow and change into butterflies over the past few weeks. Some classes wrote in journals about the changes that were taking place as the caterpillars ate and grew larger. Then as they hung upside down in a “J” shape ready to spin their chrysalis. Then the long wait for the butterflies to emerge from the chrysalis. Over the last week students observed the new butterflies in their classroom and then finally let them go so they could be in their natural habitat.
