Maeve SKH: In art, we are using clay. In P. E., we are doing gymnastics. Mable SKH: In music, we are learning Valentine ' s songs. In P. E., we are doing special obstacle courses. In art, we are doing Valentine ' s stuff.
As you can see, learning in the ECE is filled with curiosity, laughter and citizenship, and they all apply during work time, like taking the courage to try a new strategy and using citizenship while sharing and taking turns. Have a great spring break!
