While grades 1-8 went off to explore Webb Mountain, the early childhood classes had the whole school to ourselves! Our focus was bugs and students really enjoyed making bug homes and working together to create bug hotels for the community. Once we collected our materials construction began as well as some good old fashioned bug hunting! While one group was playing outside the other was making environmental art with Mrs. DesGranges. The students were really excited to make their own snack and lunch with our school chefs in the dining room! We could not believe our eyes when the snack was creating your own edible bug. We used fruits and vegetables along with healthy dips and spreads to create edible art! Lunch was hands on to as we created our own French bread pizzas- they never had that for lunch when I was a kid! The meal was rounded out with a hummus and veggie platter and Caesar salad which almost everyone tried! To finish off a sweet sprinkle cookie that looked like the Earth. Next we headed back outside for an Earth Day sing along with Mr. Coe. We put our finishing touches on our big hotels and placed them out in the woods with hopes of all vacancies being filled. Both Mandarin and Spanish were taught outside where students learned nature words and played games in those languages. A fun, exciting day was had by all. Thanks to all the teachers and staff who made this day so memorable for our kids!
