Extended Day Enrichment

For the last four weeks students got to participate in Extended Day Enrichment (EDE). This is a extra program offered to our students from 11:30 -2:00pm each Thursday if they would like to join.  Students have done so many amazing things it is hard to fit everything in!
One week they talked about trees and what they need and how chlorophyll works.  Then this lead to a nature walk with collecting leaves and sorting them and and making patterns.  Another week was dedicated to monsters and counting their eyes and using shapes to create their own monsters.  The students also got to create a "fizzy monster head" by inflating balloons with a chemical reaction between vinegar and baking soda.  They also sorted skittles and painted with them. They carved pumpkins and made Halloween slime which is always a favorite by all.  Thank you so much to our two amazing EDE teachers Miss Carrie and Miss Simone.  The time and energy they put into this class is so evident by the kids faces when they coming running out of class to share all their new experiences with their parents.
