In Kindergarten, we're falling for leaves! 🍂 Students have been learning all about trees in science. 🌳Last Friday, they learned how to identify different types of trees based on their leaves - shapes, how the edges of leaves differ, whether they drop their leaves in the fall or not, how leaves are arranged, and more.
Students also had lots of fun going on a leaf hunt outside to find the perfect leaf to do leaf rubbings! 🌿🍁 They made some pretty cool artwork!

We highlighted them in our furry friends of Folsom Prep feature in August, and you've likely heard about them from your child. But let's take a moment to talk about our chickens🐔! In our garden, we've got a chicken coop (thank you Mr. Eric for building it) and every week, a different class gets to take care of the chickens.
Learning happens inside AND outside of the classroom and caring for animals helps students learn about responsibility while getting some Vitamin D and outdoor time🌞! The best part, at the end of each week, families can enjoy some Folsom Prep farm fresh eggs 😊

Mr. Pricklepants is leading reptilian reading time! 🦎🐊🐢
Actually, we can't be fully sure of his reading abilities...he's not a "read out loud" kind of bearded dragon. 😂
But nonetheless, students in Mrs. Castro's class love reading, especially about reptiles! 📚
