Christmas Concert

Way to go, my beautiful mighty girls!! I am proud of you!

A big thanks to Miss Morrison for creating this video of the concert :)

Exploring Telescopes

To explore telescopes, we went to the Wonder Room to build telescopes to read a secret message, look through a real telescope, and do research!

The secret message that could only be seen faraway using a telescope!

Can you read the message girls?

What do you see outside, Chrissa??
