NORTHEAST SCHOOL – Spring has officially sprung at Northeast School, and the halls are abuzz with the wonders of life! While most students come to school with backpacks and books, some of the tiniest creatures on Earth have also decided to call the classrooms home, bringing a whole new level of excitement to school.
In the 1st grade wing, pint-sized scientists have gone full-on nature explorer mode. Their classroom now resembles a miniature safari zone, complete with bustling ant farms and tanks of tadpoles wiggling their way toward froghood. The students are already trying out names like “Sir Croaks-a-lot,” “Lillypad Larry,” and the crowd favorite, “Hoppy Potter.” Meanwhile, down the hall, ants have been hard at work showing off their tunnel-digging skills.
Not to be outdone, the 5th graders are hatching up big things of their own. Their classroom is like a barnyard nursery, thanks to the chicken and duck eggs nestled safely in incubators. Students have been peeking in daily, whispering encouragement. Whispers in the hallway hint at a possible Chicken vs-Duck relay race, pending Dr. Greene’s approval and careful logistics (and probably a lot of tiny safety gear).
Whether it’s hopping, hatching, or tunneling, one thing’s for sure: life at Northeast School is wildly wonderful this spring. Stay tuned next week, rumor has it the kindergarteners might start growing lima beans!
