How do we stay cool at the ECC? Students had some water and bubble fun under our tent. Check out these happy, smiling and cool faces.
Way to BEE at the ECC! As a part of our PBIS model, our students earn parts of a bee in their individual classrooms. Then they add bees to our whole school hive. We are happy to announce, we filled the top portion and it is time to celebrate our accomplishments! Miss Laura's class is shown in the picture. They earned and placed the last bee.
What a beautiful day to be enjoying the fresh air and playing/learning outside. Students from the ECC had a great time during their gross motor time. Smiles were a plenty!
ECC student, Umar F. brought in and shared two books with his class about the holiday, Ramadan. His classroom teacher, Miss Laura read the stories to the class. Great job Umar!

The AMAZING Agawam Lions Club has "stepped up" to donate step stools to the ECC. Pun intended! To pay it forward, the students, families and staff at the ECC have been collecting toiletry items to donate to the Club's Caring Closet. Items such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, deodorant, etc. have been donated. For each item a student donated, they received a ticket to enter into a drawing to try and win a gigantic Mr. Incredible balloon. In the picture is our winner, Robert and his brother, Clark. The ECC is still collecting toiletry items until Friday, May 21st.
The ECC staff has been spoiled this week in recognition of Teacher Appreciation Week. The ECC Parent Advisory Council reached out to ECC families in search of donations to celebrate our staff. They provided a special treat every day this week. Staff were treated to breakfast, plants, ice cream, sunglasses, positive messages, and Friday's treat is a surprise...shhhh! We want to thank all the families for thinking of us. We are so very grateful!
We had some feathery friends visit the ECC today. Miss Melinda brought in some baby chicks to share with the students. The students loved seeing and learning about them. Thank you Miss Melinda!
We are very happy on this Monday morning at the ECC. We are working 3 ft apart and wearing our masks. It's a great place to be!
We are busy bees at the ECC! Welcome back to 4 days everyone! Enjoy these pictures of our students, families, staff and the ECC.
Happy Monday ECC families! We are so excited for our students to be back to our 4 day in-person program starting April 5th.

However, Wednesday will continue to be a virtual time with our amazing PE teacher, Mr. Matt and the choice to use the ECC Google Classroom for all students.

Miss Laura's, Miss Rachel's and Miss Crystal's classroom celebrated Read Across America week with many fun days. They dressed up as their favorite characters in this photo.
We've been having lots of learning fun at the ECC. Miss Debbie's and Miss Pam's students dressed up as Leprechauns and went in search of gold. They found lots of it and had a lot of fun.
Miss Debbie's and Miss Pam's students are learning about bears at the ECC. They invited a friend in to learn with them. Mr. Bear came to visit and listened to a read aloud. High fives and smiles were shared by all. Mr. Bear even wore his mask for safety.
ECC students proudly show off the projects they created during a remote learning session. Great job Ava, Eleanora and Cameron!
It is Read Across America Day and wear your favorite/silly hat day at the ECC. Our classrooms had visitors read them a story either virtually or in person. Positive energy and the love of reading were flowing for everyone.

February is Black History month in the United States. Preschoolers at the ECC have been learning about differences, equality, perseverance and believing in yourself from the stories of great African American men and women who have made a difference in our American History. Prekindergarten students, Savannah and Zeynep are using Scholastic News as we learn at the ECC.
Emma G. a member of the ECC team is playing the ukulele during a Google meet. Miss Emma works in Michele Urbinati's classroom. They earned a dance party as a whole class reinforcement for PBIS. Even when we are remote, positive behavior incentives continue.

The ECC was bursting with positive energy today as we welcomed back our students. Students and staff were excited to see each other in person and back in our classrooms.
