203, 206 and 205 are learning about different parts of the food chain. Here are two fun videos about decomposers:

Playgrounds are fun for kids, but they also follow the laws of physics. We’ve been learning about gravity and friction and simple machines with 202!

For our end-of-unit project, we designed our own playgrounds. We’ll post those photos soon. In the meantime, here’s a short video about the Imagination Playground in a Box:

205, 203 and 206 are learning about the forest. While we were watching Planet Earth and noticing the different layers of the forest, we pointed out many predators and their prey. We also began to talk about how plants make their own energy from the Sun, while everything else that lives must eat to get its energy.

Follow the energy to win the food chain game!
