Kindergartners keeping busy!

Kindergartners went on TWO field trips in February, had an adventure on the Kohl's Story Bus and celebrated 100 days of school. Phew!

What does a kindergartner like best about visiting the Metropolis Coffee Roasting House? The hot chocolate at the end of course! The students had to earn their cuppa chocolate by learning about the roasting process and finding the perfect coffee beans. Sometimes that means traveling around the world to places like Ecuador! They were amazed that coffee beans are green before they are roasted. Owner and Peirce parent Tony Dreyfuss was a gracious -- and patient -- host. Thank you, Tony and Metropolis!

The next day the students boarded buses and headed to the Chicago Children's Museum at Navy Pier for some learning fun.

Friday, February 25, 2011 marked the 100th day of school. Students celebrated by completing projects based around the number 100. See the images at left for a great example!
