This past month, we’ve been up to several fun teamwork challenges like stacking cups with different materials, playing “Save Fred,” and building houses out of graham crackers and icing. We created many rainbow loom bracelets, tried out invisible ink, and made flower art out of cupcake liners. When we are outside, we enjoy playing basketball, gaga ball, and color tag.

In March, we are looking forward to celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with themed crafts and snacks. We also have experiments on the topics of balance, afterimages, ramps, and bubbles, and will learn more acting games. 

Additionally in March, we are collecting extra paper towel and toilet paper rolls for a telescope/binocular project we’ll do in April. Please contribute any extra rolls!
