Trick Words Come Alive!




The video you just watched is an example of the videos we've been creating to help remember trick words! The kids are pretty excited to be in a "movie"! We experimented with the trick words and they found they were able to remember the words practiced this way much more easily! Enjoy!
Valentine's Day was a filled with friendship and kindness. As they opened their Valentine cards from each other, there was a chorus of voices saying, "Thank you!"Check out Silas and Brodie's enthusiasm for the day. I think they sum it up!




In addition to having a Valentine Celebration, we continued our penguin studies. This week we had a guest who has actually visited Antarctice! Betsy Youngman is a teacher and scientist who was studying the ozone in Antartica. While she was there she saw...YES, penguins! The children were riveted while she shared her tale! Thanks, Betsy!
There's more to say, but I've run out of time...check back later this weekend for more!
Have a great vacation week!
