In this week’s Blogging Challenge Miss W. suggested we create a ZOOM post. We liked the idea and pulled out one of our favorite wordless books by Istvan Banyai called Zoom. In this book the reader is zoomed from a farm to a city to a desert and more as it ZOOMS out farther and farther! How far will it go? We created our own ZOOM video based on the book. We hope you enjoy it!

Art & Music classes are creating and playing their own “junk” play station for our performance next week.
P.E. classes are practicing circus arts like juggling, balancing and “clowning” around!
We have a dress rehearsal during the day at CHS next Friday, April 8th, before our evening performance at 5:30 . . . I hope to see you all there!
