Picnic Weather
PreK Picnic Invasion!
We've been loving the picnic weather on campus lately! What comes with a picnic? Ants! Pre-K4 students have been studying the life cycle of ants: egg, larva, pupa to adult ant.
Led by elementary science lab coordinator Ms. Carissa Gibbons, students set up a quilt for a pretend picnic that was -oh no!- taken over by ants! Crafted with six legs and three body segments, the handmade ants used antennae to smell the food at the picnic. Students also learned all about different species of ants and how they work together in colonies. Although some ants do bite, they are also helpful to our gardens and flowers. #wearesaintjamesschool
“Pretending is fun! And so is Science! ”
PreK students experience enrichment classes daily. Taught by full-time faculty, students study art, music, science, and foreign language.
