The preschoolers are learning about different kinds and colors of leaves! They read "We're Going on a Leaf Hunt" and then went outside on a leaf hunt! It was a beautiful day for a leaf hunt!
Yesterday, the biology class used candy to make models of the cell membrane. With their models, they were able to replicate cell processes, like diffusion and osmosis, and get a better life-size idea of how these work.
