Scotland book

We’re taking a trip to Scotland this week!  One of our staff took a trip to Scotland last summer and she graciously let us borrow some of her amazing photos.  The book goes over some neat facts about Scotland like different animals that live there, some famous people who were born there, and even something about a mythical creature that is said to live in a lake.  Check out the book, also, to find out their awesome national animal!  You won’t be able to guess what it is.  We have a student featured on the cover and Ellen, who took the trip, featured on the back.  Check it out!

Day of the Dead book

We’re celebrating Day of the Dead this week in our groups.  We learned a lot about this Mexican holiday!  We learned that it is a time to celebrate and remember those loved ones who have died.  We also read about some of the things that are put out on the altars that are created for the loved ones.  Two of our own students got into the spirit of Day of the Dead by dressing up in costumes that might be seen during the Day of the Dead.  Read our book to find out about it!

We are learning about the country Colombia this week!  This is the home country of one of our amazing teachers, Maria.  We learned a lot about this country including some things that are exported from there as well as all of the different types of habitats there are.  It seems like a VERY cool place and we’ve already asked Maria if we can travel there with her the next time she visits 🙂  Take a look and see what you can learn about Colombia!

We Love Charlie Brown book

Our theme for this week was lots of fun!  We took a look at some of the characters in the comic Peanuts.  Some of our amazing students posed as the characters–from Charlie Brown to little sister Sally to piano-laying Shroeder.  Our awesome art teacher, Judy, and some of her talented students helped us by painting a Peanuts background for our models to pose in front of.  Very cool!
