Learning never stops at the ECC. During our fun day of wearing costumes we had a fire drill. Practice is so important for safety. So naturally our thought was PHOTO OP! One of our students dressed as a fireman so of course we invited the Agawam Fire Inspector, Derek Myers to take a picture with him as he was here conducting the fire drill. Can you say future aspirations?

Oh what fun it is to BEE when you come to the ECC! Students were invited to wear costumes to school on Thursday. One of our AMAZING teachers, MIss Laura came up with a GREAT idea. "Let's have a parade!" All classrooms went outside for a parade around the school, then met in one large circle to dance, cheer and have FUN! Great job ECC team!

The ECC is the place to BEE! We have been busy, busy, busy! We use beads to count, sort, identify colors and patterns. We use technology to identify shapes, letter, numbers and days of the months. We love puzzles and yell "YES!" when we finish them. Way to BEE ECC!

Tonight is the Agawam School District TRUNK or TREAT! It is from 5:30-7:30 at School Street Park. We have many ECC families hosting a trunk. All the Agawam schools are involved and rumor has it we have 70, yes 70 trunks! I'll be there dressed as a construction worker near a BIG truck. Can you find me? I hope to see you all there if you DARE!

It's RED SOX day! Fridays at the ECC don't have many students, but that didn't stop us from cheering on the SOX! Families were invited to send us their photos showing their favorite SOX gear! Staff wore their favorites too. Go Sox!

Hello ECC Families, Just a reminder that Thursday, 10/21 is a half day for all Agawam students. This means that our ECC classrooms BOTH at Granger and at Perry Lane ONLY have AM session on this day. There is no PM session at either location on this day. Please call the ECC at 413-821-0597 with questions. Thank you.

Hello ECC Granger families! Tomorrow, Tuesday, October 19th is picture day for our Granger ECC! A notice should have come home with your student in paper form. I know that some messages can be confusing due to our two locations. ALL ECC families (both ECC Granger and ECC Perry Lane) receive every message at this time. We are working on separating notices for our two locations in the very near future. In the meantime we are highlighting notices by stating ECC Granger or ECC Perry Lane. Please email me at csykes@agawamed.org with any questions. Thank you!

What a AMAZING event! The Agawam Family and Community Program, Agawam Rotary Club and Agawam Public Schools joined together to hold a Multicultural Festival at School Street Park. There was a story walk of the book, "All Are Welcome" written by Alexander Penfold, reading circles of books that were read both in English, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. Many cultures were represented and shared their traditions. The Rotarians handed out book bags filled with numerous books. Every child received a copy of the book, "All Are Welcome". Crafts were created and a gnome hunt too. What a great morning in Agawam!
