The students spent time in the Interpretive Center bird watching, looking at turtles, and learning about animals native to this area. The students then went on a guided nature hike through the forest preserve. Students learned about types of trees, plants, and animal tracks. A picnic lunch finished up the field trip. They had a great spring day.

Partnership in Parenting held their April group connection at the Shiloh Library in honor of National School Library Month. Miss Penny, Shiloh Librarian, hosted the families with a reading of Worm Weather by Jean Taft, a delightful story with a few simple words on each page. The children then enjoyed the song, "Herman the Worm", and found out what happens if you eat 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 too many things - BURP!
The activities of making wiggly worms out of yarn & pasta and digging for colorful worms in the "dirt" sensory bin saw lots of action. The PIP-Squeaks also explored live worms, but there were mixed reactions about these squirming creatures!
