Good Afternoon Families!
We had such an amazing week! Please take a look below for some of the highlights:
"We went on our nature walk and we learned about our five senses. I felt the grass and I smelled a spruce tree." Hannah
"Today I went on the diving board and the first time I got scared and then the second time I did it. If I did it again I would try a flip." Elliott
"In TWAS today we wrote about swimming and what we did. We went down the slide twice and jumped off the diving board." Kyle
"We went on the waterslide today. We played a game when our teacher said things you would bring in a boat and if they were good you jump in." Andrew
"In our TWAS we wrote about swimming and the bus ride. My Dad volunteered today and did lots of fun stuff with us." Jake
"Yesterday we did a nature walk and we learned about hearing and smell and touch and sight. I smelled dead grass and I heard wind. I felt crunching leaves." Evan
"In music we played pumpkin pumpkin on the xylophones." Lucas
"In gym we talked about our stations. One of the stations had a spinning thing where you wobble and try to balance." Ciara
"In music we played a game and we had to sit on the steps. When the music stops we change our skeleton shape." Will
