Snails

I introduced the ecosystem this week.  It went rather swimmingly, if I do say so myself.  Next week we will be working with /s/ blends.  I am thinking about still using our ecosystem and moving the focus towards studying the snails.  The children seem to be enthralled with them, even more so than the fish swimming around!  I am really trying to incorporate science into the curriculum.  However, it is rather difficult to do.  We spend the majority of our days focusing on reading and math.  In spite of this limited time frame that I am constantly working against, I feel compelled to do so.  The children love science.  It instantly catches their attention and also keeps it.  This also breaks up the monotony of the day!:)
