What a busy few weeks we've had! Second grade went on their Insect Detectives field trip, we Walked for Water, had a visit from some awesome authors, and learned about the Fibonacci Sequence (moms, stay tuned...you'll hear more details this weekend). :)

Insect Detectives at the Austin Nature & Science Center
The whole Second Grade Gang!

Being entomologists!

Some live footage of our insect-collecting...pure joy!

Collecting minnows and tadpoles to examine

Identifying arthropods

Fun at Zilker Park

Walk for Water
Representing Kiker and the SBLC well!


Some of us carried a water jug during the walk to make our Walk for Water even more authentic.

A quick moment with Gilbert!

Author Visit
A visit from some talented authors, including Jacqueline West who wrote the Elsewhere Series.

A few of us participated in the game show...

...and ALL of us really enjoyed the visit!


Fibonacci Numbers in Nature

Finding the Fibonacci Sequence right here on campus!

 Ask your child why this is a Fibonacci flower...they should be able to enlighten you! :)

Happy Weekend!

    Thanks for the beautiful Mother's Day card. The beautiful picture of Fibonacci flower with the poem was presented to me with an explanation about the Fibonacci sequence. Love it.
