This past week saw us start to build our “cookie tin guitars,” create ‘stained glass’ greeting cards, sew reusable grocery bags, wet felting soaps, and engrave rocks and plaques. We also welcomed our Painted Lady Butterfly Larvae.

In short, we metamorphosed into a virtual hub of science and engineering laced with creativity! You will have a chance to see when you come in for your child’s Portfolio meeting  over the next 2 weeks. The Craft Sale takes place from 2:00pm to 3:15 pm on Tuesday, June 18 and Thursday, June 20. Please plan for your child to stay for a few minutes past the regular 3:00pm Pick-Up time so they can be a part of facilitating the sale.

Portfolios are well underway. I continue to be astonished and impressed with the depth and quality of work and insights your children express about the learning they do from home.

I came across an interesting article about how parents can recognize and help a child with anxiety:
