From Ms. Bourdon, the K2C Teacher...The students in K2C were surprised in early April with a class pet. They received 5 baby caterpillars. They were so excited and observed the caterpillars as they grew bigger and bigger, eventually entering their chrysalides, and then were amazed when they emerged as butterflies. After feeding and nurturing the butterflies for a few days, K2C released the butterflies, on May 6, 2021, into nature. They will miss the butterflies, but were happy to see the butterflies soar and explore the world!

From Ms. Olsen, the Grade 2A Teacher…The students kick started a new science unit by going outside to explore different plants, animals, and other things that may be seen around the school yard. The students had the option to either draw what they saw or write down what they saw using their words. When they were outside, they were eager to point out what they were seeing to one another. They worked diligently to find as many things as possible. When we went back inside the students shared what they had observed. As a group we discussed which objects needed water, food, and oxygen to survive and labeled them living. The students went off on their own and sorted their observations into living and non-living categories. Great job with this Science Project 2A! God Bless all mothers on this upcoming Mother’s Day weekend and always, from all of us at South Boston Catholic Academy!
