How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. - Anne Frank
We had a wonderful day today! Jack returned from a trip to Washington, D.C. and shared pictures and stories with all of us. Our crested gecko laid eggs overnight, and the children each received their role in the second grade production of 'Alice In Wonderland', which will be performed at the end of May! I will update with details as they become available. Parents, please check your children's backpacks for their lines.
What We Are Learning
We have been continuing our lesson on Australia, and have learned many new things! Today we focused on some animals indigenous to Australia. Did you know koalas are marsupials? Ask your children if they can name some other marsupials. Here is a link to a cool website about koalas:
