The Lily Pad class was very excited for their family members to visit the classroom and spend time with the bunnies. The class worked together and shared many responsibilities to take care of the bunnies, such as feeding them and helping clean the cage. The Lily Pads measured and weighed the bunnies observing them change over time and experimented with different fruits and vegetables for the bunnies to eat. We will miss the bunnies very much, but hope they have fun on the farm together!

Early Monday morning our classroom bunnies arrived from the farm in Pennsylvania. The farmer introduced the mama bunny, Jolie, and her five babies. The farmer also showed the class how to take care of the bunnies by cleaning their cage, feeding them, and making sure they had enough water. On Monday the bunnies cage was covered by a blanket in order for them to acclimate to their new environment, but what fun we've had since we could get them out of their cage! The Lily Pad class has been very caring since the bunnies arrived each taking responsibility of their own bunny job. The bunny jobs include: the noise monitor, the sweeper, the water helper, the hay helper, the cage cleaner, the photographer, the feeder, and the reader. Throughout the week in science, Braque and the Lily Pads measured and weighed the bunnies, something we will do every week to observe the growth of the bunnies. This week, the baby bunnies were 9 inches long! Towards the end of the week, the class created an obstacle course to help the bunnies get some exercise! After spending some time with the bunnies and learning about each one, the class worked together to name each bunny. The names of the baby bunnies are: Whitey, Speedy, Bookbag, Thomas, and Paper Towel. The Lily Pads have been so responsible, helpful, and gentle with the bunnies. We are excited for the bunny adventures to continue...stay tuned! |
