Field trip - Nature Center

Yesterday we learned about all the wonderful things that Arkansas has to offer us in the great outdoors while visiting the Witt Stephens Nature Center in downtown LR

Puppy visit

Culminating our "Awesome Animal Unit", Rudy (Ms. Izard's 3-month old corgi puppy) made a visit to the The Lizards' classroom.  This week we are specifically examining how animals grow and change. We talked about what Rudy needs as a puppy compared to an adult dog and how his looks and weight will change. Also, we set up a veterinarian clinic in our room that the students can explore during center time. 

Pinnacle Mountain Interpreter - 3rd Visit

Miss Gilliane and Mr Luke (Interpreters from Pinnacle Mountain) taught us all about creepy, crawly insects. We learned about the different parts of an insect, their habitats, and what they like to eat. 

Trombone Playing

We may have the next Tommy Dorsey on our hands! Mr. Dukes introduced students to the art of trombone playing! 

Pinnacle Mountain Interpreter - 2nd Visit

PMr. Spilman taught the children about an animal's habitat. We not only matched pictures of woodland animals to their correct habitat, but also built a habitat using soil, grass, etc...

Printmaking

Students learned a little about the art of printmaking. After taking small pieces of styrophone, etching snowflake designs in them, and then marking with paint, students were able to create some very cool snowflake stamps. 

Pinnacle Mountain Interpreter

Interpreter Spillman from Pinnacle Mountain made his first of four visits to Fulbright's PreK today. Correlating with our current theme, he showed us various pelts and furs belonging to native Arkansas animals, read us a book about forest animals, and let us see a real box turtle named Rascal.  If you and your child visit Pinnacle in the next few weeks, look for Interpreter Spillman and say hi. We are very fortunate that he takes time out of his busy schedule to help educate us on the wild animals of Pulaski County.
