The Turtles are so excited about our art show tonight! We worked on our special snack for the art show. The children had wanted to make a cake and cookies. Being accommodating teachers, we did our best, but the cake turned out very flat and the cookies all ran together. It was a bit of a mess. The children had the idea to put the cookies on top of the cake, and we gave it a try. As we were putting them on, it started looking like a turtle! We decided to go with it (with a little help from Tamara's years of cake decorating at Baskin-Robbins), and you will see tonight that the result was wonderful!
Tamara's friend Kacie who teaches art at the New Jersey School for the Deaf came in today! The Turtles have been working hard to practice their sign language for "Teaching Peace," and they did an amazing job! Then Kacie taught us some sign language for other words and for the alphabet. She even joined us for lunch. The Turtles just loved meeting her!
Earlier in the morning Ella's mom Stacy read us the "Lorax" and the children were spellbound through the whole book!
It was such a beautiful day outside, that we picnicked for snack, and then explored the campus:
