"Budding" Preschool Scientists

The preschool students took their clipboards out and looked for signs of spring.  We even found a few items that weren't on their check sheet.  Mrs. Montgomery remained calm when a child turned over a rock and a lizard wriggled out quickly and ran in her direction.  We decided that it was time to stop looking under rocks for earthworms (just in case another reptile might be under there--she wouldn't have remained as calm if a snake slithered out).
