Valentine's Day

We had such a fun Valentines Day!
Our crew enjoyed playing bingo, painting a fun craft, eating snacks and spending times together.
We showed compassion to each other by writing kind notes this week, giving "heartprints" to each other and playing together. Thank you to all the families that helped make today special by donating items, coming in and running fun activities.

Sun, Moon and Stars

Our Crew loved the module Sun, Moon and Stars. We used fictional stories and fables to help us learn about the patterns of the Sun, Moon and Stars. We learned how the Sun and Moon appear to rise and set.
Students researched through pictures, books and videos about the Sun, Moon and Stars.
We reflected on our own days and the books we read to create our own Sun Poem. Students wrote a poem describing the Sun and what "it sees".
Our class enjoyed celebrating with Ms. Liz's class and sharing our hard work.
