Ladybugs Fly to a New Home

Yesterday, we released our ladybugs, which we have had since the larva stage. We saw them turn into the pupa stage, then emerge as tender little ladybugs. After a week or so, they seemed stronger and ready to fly. We took them to Gail's Forest in front of the school, and watched them slowly fly off. One stubborn little ladybug stayed all night in the ladybug land, but finally flew off into the sun at the end of the next school day.

Sad Goodbye to Mrs. Cole

We were fortunate to welcome Mrs. Cole into our classroom for several weeks, as she finishes up her last year of teacher training at Sam Houston State University. On Friday, November 13, we wished her a sad farewell, but she promised to visit us as often as possible. The students presented her with cards, notes, and a bag of goodies to start off with when she begins teaching in Fall of 2010.
