PICTURES AND REPORTS
AFTER SCHOOL JUST DANCE AND YOGA GROUP Check this excellent dancing video out. It is 3-minutes long and takes a tiny bit of patience to get into it but the wait is worthwhile. LINK TO VIDEO Thank you Mr. Pac 
NAVIGATORS PRE-K
On Friday, April 20th, Miss Audette's PreK class on the Navigators Team hosted a class museum, wrapping up a 6-week museum unit that covered topics from dinosaurs to fairy tales. Exhibits families came to view included a dinosaur imprint exhibit, castle building photo exhibit, a fairy and troll garden exhibit, an "All About the Creators" exhibit, and a fairy tale written by the class. Each exhibit started out as a planning session for ideas and designs and was then brought to life, creating products that were truly child-led. The children were extremely excited to share their learning with their families! LINK TO 35 PICTURES
