I'm so hungry I could eat some dirt!






To introduce our next unit in science we brought in the most delicious kind of soil - dirt cake! Of course we completed a lab sheet on our observations using our senses and -last but not least - tasting! I wonder what we'll do with rocks...

Arts Extravaganza Week














Wow! What a week! We had an assembly EVERY DAY and saw fantastic, talented artists from all over! On Monday we saw Sugar and Spice Puppetry, Tuesday brought us two percussionists from the Jacksonville Symphony, Wednesday we heard, recited, and acted out poetry with Glenice Redmond, Thursday the African Musicians from EPCOT treated us to music and dance, and today we heard a banjo and listened to bluegrass music! I LOVE Chets Creek!! Tonight is the culminating activity - it's our Arts Extravaganza! Plenty of free art activities in the dining room, guest artists all around the building, and student art work covering the walls.
