| THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM |
 |
| RHM had a field trip to the Natural History Museum in support our unit studies on Dinosaurs. Here the children are listening to the instructor about all the insects and animals they would find in the Discovery Center. It was a wonderful opportunity for parents to get involved with the school and their children. |

'COOL CRITTERS' REPTILE PARTY |
 |
PUEBLAN MILK SNAKE 'Cool Critters' set up in our multi-purpose room. This was part of our unit study on reptiles and amphibians. Steve Harding (left) is an ex-Sheriff and a really sweet man. Steve told the children all about the animals and demonstrated how to handle them properly. While touching the animals was optional, it turned out that all the children had a great 'hands-on' experience. |
 |
BEARDED DRAGONS The presentation was done so well that the children couldn't wait to get their hands on the animals. Naturally, all the 'touchable' creatures were predetermined by Sheriff Steve to be safe for the young ones to handle. When Steve produced the scorpion he explained to the children that it had a sting like a bee and they should just look at it. |
 |
WHITE'S TREE FROGS As with all the animals, the children were first shown how to hold the creatures properly so neither they, or the animal were injured. With the frogs, they were told to hold their free hand in front of the frog if they felt it may want to jump up their arm. |
 |
THE GRAND FINALE! "BUBBA" The children took turns in groups to hold and stroke Bubba the albino python. |
THE CHILDREN PLANT SEEDS IN THEIR VEGETABLE GARDEN |
 |
This is a perfect example of how the older children help the young ones. This is a key component of the Montessori philosophy. |
