Take a peek at some of the math games we play at school!

The Courtyard Keepers have been busy at work going out to the courtyard several times a week to weed and clean up the garden beds.  It looks better out there already!  We have the help of master gardener and retired Leverett teacher, Deb Brazeau.  She’s been very kind to donate her time and teach us all a bit about gardening.

Every so often we need a break, so we strike a yoga pose and try to make a letter of the alphabet with our bodies.  Today we were making the letter U, and we had so much fun doing so, I just had to show you.

In science we have been studying the sun and the moon, how they both give off light and appear to move across the sky.  You may have seen some of our experiments coming home.  This day we were playing with shadows.  We put our friend Count out in the sun, traced his shadow, and came back later to see what happened.  It moved!  What happened?  We had a great discussion about the sun’s place in the sky.

Some more excellent builders:

Thanks to everyone helping out on Harvest Festival this weekend.  I wish I could be there to take part in all the fun with the kids.  I hope it’s a super fun day!
