Week 8: TUVWX, Popcorn Party, Spiders, and Skeletons

Quote of the week:  As one kiddo was helping another finish our skeleton project:

"It's OK, we all need a little help once in awhile!"

Aren't they sweet!

Here's a couple of pics from Week 7:

Pompom cheers from letter Pp day!

Beautiful  baby owls

Week 8:

We created these skeletons on Friday...

This was a difficult project but the kiddos did great!

We worked together to create this real x-ray skeleton!

 The kiddos loved measuring themselves to see who was taller!

These two kiddos worked to put our skeleton together!
