HCA Families We have had a busy week at school.   This week we finished up our rainbow learning, had leprechauns mess up our school and a planting day!

Finding Rainbows

We have learned that you needs sunlight and rain to make a rainbow.  This week we found hidden rainbow inside of the color black.  We colored our coffee filters all black and them make it "rain" on them.  I hope that this spring is filled with Rainbows for us all to enjoy.

St. Patrick's Day at HCA!!!!

Patrick is a Leprechaun , He has a sack of gold. He hides it between two stumps, I am told. I think I saw Patrick out in the woods at play.  He smiled and Laughed and winked, and then he ran away.

Don't try and follow Patrick, to find his treasure sack.

He'll twist and jump and run away, and he never will come back!

    Sound Bags 

We will be resuming sound bags after spring break.

Thank you so much for making sure that your children  have their sound bags ready for learning.

It is one of their favorite parts of the day.

We will be starting with the sound Cc when we come back.
