Churchland Preschool Center

On Fridays during closing circle, we take time to reflect on our week and ask the students what they learned. It’s always so fun to hear their thoughts and see what stuck with them! #PPSShines @PortsVASchools @in8days @cardellpatillo @CPCRM @DrPSW_PKC @cityofPortsVA @goldunlife

This week our topic is insects! Some of our students created different insects of their choice by making 3 body parts, 6 Legs, 2 antennas, and 4 wings (if needed). #PPSShines @PortsVASchools @in8days @cardellpatillo @CPCRM @DrPSW_PKC @cityofPortsVA @goldunlife
