A Peek At Our Week: Dec 17-20

It was space week in Nature Class. Wendy led an astronaut training program

In addition to being good listeners, astronauts need to exercise to stay healthy. Even our pregnant Nature teacher was doing pushups with the kids (;

The young astronauts conducted a number of experiments
