How is it already our second to last Tuesday of the school year?! It feels like the time is just flying by! But, when you are surrounded with the creative energy these kiddos are emitting constantly, its easy to see how we lost track of the time! Today we performed a show that Franklin wrote and directed with Elsa and Holly, took a trip into the woods with Holly and Dominique, and sang our hearts out with Colin. We also worked on more of our end of the year performance costumes, helped consolidate our glue inventory, made spray paint pictures, went on a worm hunt, and watched some construction at Farrell Park. Our yummy snack for today was muffins and fruit. Listed below are some of the Vermont Early Learning Standards you would find in our play, and please enjoy some of the moments captured on camera from today's adventures!
