You can find the science objectives in the kindergarten syllabus (and listed above). In class we will be discussing the traits of each classification, working in our science journals, and doing nature studies and investigations. Please feel free to extend this unit at home as much as you would like!

Hymn Of Joy by Henry Van Dyke
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
hearts unfold like flow'rs before Thee,
Opening to the Sun above,
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day!
