We have been learning all […]
Unbelievably, it is May 1st! Time flies- feels like just yesterday we were studying the Coast Salish Fall. This week has brought some exciting guests to us: our caterpillars. They are quite fascinating and we are watching them grow and change, heading towards their metamorphosis.

It’s been so delightful to get to see students who have come back this week, and our group feels like it is slowly coming back together. We’ve had another busy week and were happy to see a little sun come out for us towards the end. We have been studying fairy tales this month. There […]
