Sand Creek


Hello everybody!

March has been a wonderful month, the children and I have been exploring and learning about "NATURE"...how flowers and plants grow and a little bit about how bugs change and grow as well.  Something very interesting and intriguing is the cycle of the caterpillar and how they turn into a beautiful butterfly.  This is really Amazing!  They learned that this process is called (METAMORPHOSIS)...this is just an incredible process of growth for this particular insect.  We also celebrated St. Patrick's Day and the children learned the meaning of this day with it's historical roots to Ireland.  I've attached some pictures of our activities from this month...the children really enjoy being part of the after school program here at Sand Creek...from help with their homework to learning about nature and all the fun arts and crafts they get to do.  Now we are getting ready and planning to celebrate "Easter."  Wow what a beautiful religious holiday!  Hope everyone enjoys this beautiful Spring day.
