It was after nap time, and Ann was helping Violet put on her jacket to go outside. Violet looked up at Ann and said as if she were making the week’s most important proclamation: “Ann, I’m happy!” Ann laughed her wonderful laugh and said, “I’m glad, Violet.” The scene made me happy as well. ...

The oldest group has moved on to discovering Antarctica and as part of their learning they made Leopard Seals out of paper lunch bags.  The middle group worked on their flounders and starfish. Richard gave them clay to make flounders from, and sand and water for the flounder to live in.  He showed them that if the flounder was covered in sand the sharks couldn’t see them, so they wouldn’t eat them!  They also learned ... ...

Kids carry big handfuls of leaves up the slide and then slide on top of them, making the ride ... ...

The youngest group focused on their rain forest, making different trees and animals that live in the jungle. The oldest group is playing “learn ... ...
