Chicken number three has hatched! The little peep began making its way into the world today. The children saw the chick hatch … a very exciting experience for everyone!
Two out of the twenty-six chicken eggs hatched today! More little peeps are on the way. The children have been anxiously waiting for the arrival of our feathered friends. They will be surprised tomorrow morning … a wonderful start to a new week! – Ms. Somers
What better way to celebrate this early spring than gardening? Students harvested cabbage and other tasty greens and made a delicious salad for all to enjoy. An early spring garden was planted with more cabbage, broccoli, radishes, turnips, carrots, and lots of greens. Beautiful pansies were added for a touch of color.
It’s Fat Tuesday, and we celebrated the Morgan Academy way! During morning circle, Ms. Somers taught a great lesson on the origins, history, and traditions of Mardi Gras. At lunchtime, we celebrated with beads, music, candy, silly clothes, masks, and Ms. Gracie’s magnificent King Cake! We all anxiously waited until everyone had a piece of cake, and then we searched our cake for the babies! The students who found the babies were crowned the King and Queen of Mardi Gras!
Since the founding of the school in 2004, Mr. Harry, The Pumpkin Man, carves a beautiful jack-o-lantern for each child every Halloween. Thank you, Mr. Harry! You are the best, and we love you!
Exciting science news! Morgan Academy students built a carnivorous bog. The fifty gallon bog houses pitcher plants, Venus fly-traps, African violets, and a variety of mosses.
