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. Jimmy is part of the Agawam Public Schools STRIVE Program and worked with Briana Roy during his internship at the ECC. Both JImmy and Briana have been great additions to the ECC team.
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!
