Friday we had game day. We all brought in favorite games and puzzles from home. Then we taught our friends how to play our special games. We also got to have a guest PE teacher come in to do physical movement activities with us. Since it was raining we used the covered tennis courts to do relays, exercises, and movement games. Thank you Ms. Stephanie and Mr. John.

We were thrilled to welcome Petey back on Wednesday. He brought lots of shells and rocks back from his beach trip for us to examine. He even found a starfish!
On Wednesday we released our Cabbage White Butterflies in the butterfly garden. They especially loved the lupin.
We have also been busy planting our Rainbow Garden. All of the classes at the ELC are working together to plant this rainbow garden. We will post more photos when the garden is complete.
We watched a video called “Characteristics of Plants”. The video talked about plant life cycles, different species of plants, and photosynthesis. We also watched a time lapse video of a bean plant growing.
Several students have been busy in the Creation Station this week. Check out Kaleb’s eyepatch.

Dear Families,
We have Monarch caterpillars. Kaleb bring a lego sticker book. We had music today, and Ms. Shelley bringed a bag of veggies for our song. Jack bringed a Star Wars sticker book. Some of us painted a surprise.
Love,
Joaquin
Today we had a music making session with Ms. Shelley. We sang Mary Wore Her Red Dress while gracefully moving the scarves through space. We also sang John the Rabbit, Don Alfredo, and This Little Light of Mine .
In the atelier the second half of the class read Painting a Rainbow, examined plants, and painted a particular plant for the rainbow garden. Tomorrow we will begin planting our garden!
