We hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend, which includes Monday as Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!

We have been focusing on the first two astronauts to set foot on the moon:  Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, who did the first "moonwalk" during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.  We learned about their lives leading up to the famous moon mission, including their time as children, and their time serving in the military.

In Physical Education, we played seated volleyball and also had free time, when we got a chance to shoot baskets, and practice our dance moves by the stereo!

In Healthy Snack Group, we made our own Pigs in a Blanket!

In Music Class, we made beautiful music together!  Each student got a xylophone to practice with!

Also, Happy Year of the Dragon!

And...

Happy Birthday Mrs. O.!

This past week, we continued to study our solar system, especially focusing on how astronauts train for their time in space!

In Healthy Snack Group, we made snowflake tortilla treats!  

In Music Class, we practiced our choreographed dance moves!

One day this past week, the pool was closed for cleaning.  

Instead of swimming, Josh joined a Physical Education class, which included a quick behind-the-scenes glimpse at the cleaning of the pool!  

Also:

Happy Birthday Peter!
