The ECC summer session is back in swing. Students and parents were greeted by excited staff for their first day of extended year services and boot camp. Students did not waste any time using their fine motor and social skills. It's going to be a great summer!
The ECC had a Stepping Up/End of the Year Celebration today. Students, families and teachers had so much fun! What a great day!
Some of our ECC students had a little fun at the district wide Color Run today. I don't know who had more fun...the students getting splashed with color or the adults throwing the colors. I know I had fun. Great job everyone!
As part of our community unit, ECC students had the fun opportunity to meet police officers and firemen today. They were great listeners hearing and learning about how these departments help our community. They even got to sit in the police cruiser and see the emergency lights. A huge thank you to the Agawam Police and Fire Departments for spending time with our students.
Everyone is welcome! The ECC loves this sentence. We loved it so much we purchased a new rug that states "Everyone is welcome!" and "Hello" in the many languages that make up the Agawam community.
Amazing things are happening at the ECC! Students are learning with their peers. We are reading together, writing stories and having learning fun. Check out these pictures of some of our amazing ECC students.
The teachers and staff at the ECC want to send a HUGE thank you to the Parents of the ECC! They spoiled us with breakfast, lunch, ice cream and flowers. Thank you to all who donated: parents, Big Y, Costco, Stop and Shop and Wanieskis. We are very thankful.
Kindness and caring are contagious! These two ECC students overheard Nurse Anna and I talking about the spilled water on one of our footstools and our concern that kids could fall and get hurt. They independently grabbed some paper towels and dried it up. Amazing! They were rewarded by choosing a prize from the prize box. Great job boys! We are proud of you.

Oh what fun we had at the ECC today! It was wear GREEN day, which happens to be Miss Cindy's favorite color. She smiled all day long and told us how amazing we looked. We listened to stories, used our imagination, danced and played with our friends. We found little green footprints in our classrooms and around the school. We searched for the mystical leprechaun. We set up leprechaun traps. He was good at hiding, because we never did find him. The fun energy was contagious! What a day!

Jimmy T. has joined the ECC for the past two months in the role of intern. He created a bulletin board, created Dr. Seuss truffula trees, made numerous resources and put together a rolling desk for Miss CIndy.

Pre-k students in Miss Michele's classroom have been learning the Zones of Regulation. The Zones teach us how to identify emotions. Miss Michele is piloting this new program with her classroom. Students in the photo are using color coded paddles to identify emotions. Great job Miss Michele's class!
