| Friends and fresh air, we are all smiles at Seager. |
| SEAGER’S OUTDOOR CLASSROOM IN MAY |
This month we have had fun learning about Things That Grow
As class prepared the outdoor planter box with soil, seeds, and also used a plastic hoe
In science, the class learned about and labeled the different parts of a plant and also the life cycle of a butterfly
We grew our own class butterflies and soon we will release them and give each a special goodbye
In art, we hammered nature, learned about symmetry, and painted at the easel with a flower
For STEM, we will build bridges with craft sticks, LEGOs, and blocks some might be long and others as tall as a tower
The garden center is such fun for all in our dramatic play
We enjoy making and delivering beautiful flower bouquets and we planted real seeds that we hope grow during the month of May
Each day we are practicing writing our first and last name
We also went on a letter hunt, we play fun games with rhyming sounds, and we love concentration snap words by trying to find the matching words that are both the same
We have enjoyed this year having nature a huge part of our learning and play
We will truly miss this spectacular group of students learning, growing and having fun each day

| We read books about butterflies and noticed the symmetry on the butterfly’s wings. Here we are making symmetry art. |
 |
| Flower math puzzles. |

| The class found many different flowers and leaves on a hike. Then they arranged on paper for hammer art. We discovered nature can transfer many brilliant colors on paper. |
