5-11 and 5-13-21 On Tuesday, we did rubbings. We took paper and color crayons and went outside to find things to do the rubbings. Some students used the bark of a tree, the sidewalk, the bricks, rocks, playground equipment and many more.
We glued one of them into our STEM journal and then created a picture with the rest.
We went outside on this beautiful day!
On Thursday, we made racetracks. Some of the students made double loops for the cars. They had a lot of fun.
Since it was such a nice day out, we took our magnifying glasses outside to look at nature more closely. We did this in the morning and then played a little bit. So it was like a double recess today. Have a great night! Mrs. Stavos
5-4 and 5-6-21 On Tuesday for STEM, the children created marble mazes with paper plates, toilet paper rolls and pipe cleaners.
If a marble wasn’t going where the student wanted it to go, they could very easily pull the tape up and move an item. They did a good job.
We also had a visit with some baby chicks! The students were able to hold them and pet them. They loved the chicks!
We did wash our hands well afterwards.
We went for another nature walk. Every week, we are amazed at all the new growth and flowers.
The students enjoyed the beautiful day on the playground.
On Thursday, the students worked on constructing ramps or building with K’nex. We then rotated to the other area.
The students are becoming very creative with their constructions. We went outside. Have a great weekend! Mrs. Stavos
4-27 and 4-29-21 On Tuesday, we built with K’nex. There were some very interesting structures. We had never used these before so the students had a lot of fun.
On Thursday, the students worked on building ramps while another group worked on iPads.
On our way out to the playground, we took the long way around the school and church and looked at all the flowers blooming.
We went outside both days. Have a nice night! Mrs. Stavos
4-20 and 4-22-21 On Tuesday, we constructed items with planks. The students had to work together to decide what they were going to build and then create that item.
We went outside in this cold weather.
On Thursday, the students made human sundials. We went outside and one student stood on an x and the other student drew a line around the shadow. We went out every hour. They noticed that their shadows got smaller.
We talked about the Earth’s rotation and had a demonstration with the globe. I demonstrated that the Sun stays in place and the Earth rotates. So as the Earth rotates, our shadow changes because of the Sun. We enjoyed some time outside in this beautiful weather. Have a great night!
4-13 and 4-15-21 On Tuesday, the students built with magnet tiles and Lincoln logs. They were divided into groups and then switched half way through.
We went outside on this chilly day,
On Thursday, the students worked with Cubetto or iPads. When working with Cubetto, the students had partner challenges. One person would tell the other person where Cubetto should go and then the other person would program him and have it move to that spot. We went outside today. Have a great night! Mrs. Stavos
4-6 and 4-8-21 I hope everyone had a great Easter!
On Tuesday, I read the story, Where the Wind Blows. We then made windsocks. The students picked a piece of construction paper and then used dot paint to make a picture on it. Mrs. Jirak and myself then stapled it into a tube and added a handle. The students glued on streamers and then we reinforced it with a staple.
It was such a beautiful day, we went out to try them. We also walked around the building and looked at all the flowers blooming. I walked the student down toward the hospital so they could see a real windsock.
We went outside to play.
On Thursday, I read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and the students then tried to build a Chicka Tree. The challenge was to get their tree to a certain height or higher and then balance letters on it.
We also did an experiment with white daisies, celery and lettuce leaves. We put them in water with food coloring in it. I asked the students what they thought would happen. They thought it would stain the part that was in the water. We checked these often and the students noticed that the celery and lettuce were turning the color that they were soaking in.
I explained that plants have tubes in them to bring water up and so it was pulling up the colored water. The daisies only had a little color.
We did movement indoors as it was too wet outdoors. Have a great night! Mrs. Stavos
3-23 and 3-25-21 On Tuesday the students worked on iPads or did a number match with eggs. Then the groups switched to do the other thing. We also did a jellybean experiment.
We watered our eggheads and they were sent home.
The sweet potato and amaryllis went home with me because no one will be at school next week to water them.
We went outside.
On Thursday, we had Easter fun. We made bunnies and decorated them using a rice krispie treat recipe. The students shaped the mixture into a bunny face with the ears and then used m&m’s and licorice to decorate them. They were delicious!
The students had a Easter egg hunt.
We also did insect fossil impressions with clay. Played with playdoh, colored an Easter page and made ramps. We went outside and enjoyed the nice weather. Have a great night! Mrs. Stavos
3-16 and 3-18-21 On Tuesday, we had St. Patrick’s day fun. We made pots of gold for our art project.
We found leprechaun rocks and since they were dirty, we washed them and found a coin inside. We also constructed penny bridges.
We went outside and enjoyed the snow.
On Thursday, we did egg stacking. The challenge was to have the tallest tower of plastic Easter eggs. They were able to use some play dough to help with their projects.
The students also built ramps to roll marbles down. They love this!
We went on a nature walk to see if anything was growing and we noticed there are flowers blooming next to the building. I told the students those are crocuses and they can even come up through the snow. We played outside. Have a great night! Mrs. Stavos
3-9-21 We went to the computer lab today. The students worked on fuzz bug patterns. The program would start a pattern and the students needed to fill in the rest. If they got it wrong, the fuzz bugs jumped down for them to try again.
Our amaryllis grew 8 inches since last Thursday. Our eggheads are starting to grow. We also started another experiment with the sweet potato. There was a very long vine and I cut it off and stuck it in the water to see if it gets roots. The students made predictions. We went outside and enjoyed the nice weather. Have a great night! Mrs. Stavos
3-2 and 3-4-21 On Tuesday we made eggheads. The students stuck eyes on an eggshell. Then made a face with markers.
They then dropped a cotton ball inside the egg, sprinkled grass seeds on it and then watered it. We are excited to watch the grass seeds grow.
The students made ramps.
We went outside.
On Thursday we worked on geoboards. The students got to explore on the geoboards first and then I asked them to make specific shapes.
Then the challenge was to see how many of that shape they could make on the geoboard.
The students also explored trying to make letters on the geoboard. We went outside. Have a great night! Mrs. Stavos
2-23 and 2-25-21 Our amaryllis is growing inches everyday. On Tuesday we cleaned pennies. We talked about pennies having copper and copper turns a different color from the air.
The students made predictions on what would clean pennies the best. The choices were soap and water, ketchup, ranch dressing, baking soda and water and vinegar.
We noticed that the ketchup and ranch dressing cleaned the best.
We talked about ketchup having tomatoes and tomatoes are acidic. The ranch dressing has vinegar in it and that is also an acid. Acid cleans pennies the best. Surprisingly the plain vinegar did not clean as well. We went outside.
For stem on Thursday we built racetracks. The students built the track with a partner and they even made a loop. Then the students got cars and had to see if they could get it going fast enough to get around their loops.
They loved this activity. We went outside. Have a great night!
2-16 and 2-18-21 On Tuesday we checked our amaryllis and it grew about an inch so far. The sweet potato looks the same.
For STEM we looked at tree cookies, fur and feathers. The students made observations with a magnifying glass.
For the tree cookies, they noticed the lines. I told them that by counting the lines, they could tell how old a tree was. The also noticed that some lines were very close together and some were further apart. I told them that when the tree has plenty of water it will grow more and the lines will be further apart.
The students made observations that the fur and feathers were not all the same and probably came from different animals/birds.
We had time to work on little genius puzzles.
We did indoor movement.
On Thursday, we learned about the surface tension of water and did an experiment. We observed that surface tension held up a paper clip. You can also overfill a bowl with water.
The students each got a bowl with water and sprinkled pepper. They then immersed a toothpick into dish soap and then put it into the middle of their bowl of pepper and the pepper moved away from the toothpick towards the edge of the bowl.
The students also built with magnet tiles.
The students enjoyed some time outside in the new snow. Have a nice night! Mrs. Stavos
2-9 and 2-11-21 Tuesday we did Valentine symmetry for STEM. The students made Valentines that went home that day.
They were awesome listeners and did a great job making the hearts.
We also made hearts to put in the window so be sure to notice those at drop off.
We did movement indoors.
Thursday we learned about President Lincoln. We have Monday off because of Presidents day.
The students engineered a chair to look like the Lincoln Memorial. This was created with noodles and play dough. It is also being sent home today.
I took pictures of the memorials and one copy will hang in the hallway and the other was put into our STEM journal. We did movement in the classroom again. Happy Valentines Day everyone! Mrs. Stavos
2-2 and 2-4-21 On Tuesday, we checked our sweet potato and started measuring an amaryllis. We will measure it every STEM day.
We learned about President George Washington today. We made Washington Monuments out of noodles. Those were sent home that day.
We enjoyed some time outside before the frigid weather sets in.
On Thursday, we built with magnet tiles. The students worked with a partner to construct a building and then could take a picture on Seesaw.
The amaryllis has not started growing yet. We did go outside for a little while. It was cold! Have a great night! Mrs. Stavos
1-26 and 1-28-21 On Tuesday, the students engineered igloos. They used paper plates, white paper, and cotton balls. The students did an awesome job and the igloos were all quite unique. These were sent home the day they made them.
We checked the sweet potato and it is really growing. There are at least 6 shoots growing.
We went outside.
On Thursday, we built with planks. The students got to work with a partner to build various structures. Some of them even had a chance to take a picture on Seesaw.
We went outside. Have a nice night! Mrs. Stavos
1-19 and 1-21-21 On Tuesday, we had a fun and exciting day making snowman, snowball launchers (puff ball). Sometimes it was hard to keep our hats on. We even had a friendly competition to see who could get their snowball to launch the farthest.
We went outside.
Thursday: Wow, what a whirlwind morning!
We talked about solids, liquids and gases. We then made a treat to demonstrate liquids and solids.
We made ice cream in small bags this morning. We put the smaller bag into a big bag filled with snow and some salt. Then we shook the bag for about 15 minutes with a partner. If one person got tired the other took over. Some of them didn't get quite solid but semi-solid. It was still awesome!
The ice cream was delicious!
We had snack and worked in our STEM journals. We went outside. Have a great night!
1-12 and 1-14-21 On Tuesday, we did a math lesson on measurement. We made some gluten free muffins.
The students each got to mash some banana and measure ingredients into the bowl. Some of the students wanted the recipe so that is included below.
The students also got to build ramps.
We went outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather.
Double Fudge Banana Muffins 1 egg ¼ cup brown sugar 1/3 c. applesauce 1 tsp. vanilla 1 c. mashed ripe banana (about 3) 1 c. oat flour (I put oatmeal in a food processor and made the flour) ½ tsp. baking soda ½ tsp. baking powder ½ tsp. salt ¼ c. cocoa powder chocolate chips (optional) Preheat oven to 350. Grease muffin tin (the recipe makes 10 regular sized muffins or 5 large) Whisk together the egg, sugar, applesauce, vanilla and bananas. Mix the dry ingredients and add to the egg mixture. Mix until combined. Add chocolate chips. Bake for about 20 minutes for regular muffins or 25 minutes for large. Test with toothpick.
On Thursday, in STEM, we did an experiment with snow, ice and water. I filled measuring cups to the same level with ice, snow and water and asked the students which container would have the most water in after the ice and snow melted.
2 students chose the water and all the rest picked the snow. At the end the water had the most. I explained to the students that there is a lot of air mixed in the snow, so snow was the least amount of liquid.
We made symmetrical snowflakes by painting only ½ of a paper and then folding it to make the other side. We looked at snow with a magnifying glass.
Our sweet potato has a lot of shoots growing. We went outside for a bit. Have a great night!! Mrs. Stavos
1-5 and 1-7-21 I hope everyone had a wonderful break and Happy New Year!!
On Tuesday the students worked with iPads. While one group was using the iPads, the other group worked with building blocks and ramp materials.
We went outside.
On Thursday we checked our sweet potato. It is finally getting sprouts. It has had a lot of roots but you can finally see some leaves.
For STEM, we talked about friction. The students rubbed their hands together quickly and could feel their hands getting warm.
We filled an empty water bottle with rice and took an unsharpened pencil and stuck it in the bottle. The students made predictions on if the pencil could pick up the whole bottle of rice.
When we first started, the pencil wasn’t able to. Then we kept jabbing the pencil in the rice, causing friction and also packing the rice and then the pencil did pick up the whole bottle.
We talked about lightning and that when 2 weather systems collide, that also causes friction. We tried showing a spark by rubbing a balloon on our hair and then holding it by metal but it didn’t work.
The friction on our hair caused it to stand up and stick to the balloon. The balloon also stuck to our hair without touching the balloon.
We went outside.
Have a great night! Mrs. Stavos
12-22-20 We enjoyed some Christmas fun. The students decorated gingerbread houses made out of graham crackers. Milk cartons were saved with names written on a while ago and thoroughly washed. This is used to stabilize the house.
The students spread frosting on the houses and decorated with candies.
I sent them home in bags today.
We did go outside today. Have a Blessed Christmas season!! Mrs. Stavos
12-15 and 12-17-20 On Tuesday, we talked about how polar bears keep warm in the icy conditions they live in.
The students all agreed that they have warm fur.
We then did a blubber experiment. I took 2 ziploc bags and filled one about ½ full of Crisco and then pushed the second one inside. We got some ice water in a bucket and put the blubber bag into the ice water. The students got to put their hand inside this bag as well as another plain bag. They all agreed that with the blubber bag, your hand did not get cold.
We talked about other animals that have blubber to keep warm, such as whales, walruses and penguins.
While the students took turns with the blubber bag, the others built block structures.
We went outside.
On Thursday, we were able to go to the computer lab for the first time.
When we got there, I showed the students the different parts of the computer such as the keyboard and mouse. I explained to them that the mouse tail (cord), needed to stay facing the front of the room.
The students were very good listeners and played a shape construction game to work on their mouse skills. We enjoyed some fresh air outside. Have a great night! Mrs. Stavos
11-8 and 12-10-20 On Tuesday, we checked the sweet potato and it is starting to get roots. Our corn is also getting taller.
After having the eggs in Karo syrup since last Thursday, we noticed that they looked smaller.
We weighed our eggs again and they went from 85 and 90 grams down to 45 and 50 grams. I talked about the cell membrane being able to let things in and out of the cell. The Karo syrup pulled liquid out of the cell.
We worked with our robot, Cubetto. The students had to try to get it to move to a certain picture on the mat.
On Thursday, we did a bead sort and then made a candy cane with the beads and a pipe cleaner. The students made a pattern.
We also got to look through a toilet paper roll that had red saran wrap on one end to see how it changed other objects color. The red wasn’t dark enough. So we will try again with something darker. We spent time outside both days. Have a great night! Mrs. Stavos
12-1 and 12-3-20 We had an awesome day in STEM on Tuesday! We check our Indian corn and it is starting to grow. We did many egg experiments.
First we checked to see if eggs sink or float. They sink. After adding a lot of salt to the water, the egg floated.
We put some eggs in vinegar to see what happens to them. Each on weighed about 60 grams. We will check them Thursday.
We made egg towers. We had a glass of water and put a pie tin on top. Then we put a paper tube with an egg on top. It was quite the tower. Then we hit the pie pan really hard to see what happens. The egg ended up in the glass of water. Some had to do more than one try. We only broke 5 eggs.
We talked about Newton’s law about when things are at rest, they want to stay at rest and that’s why the egg fell into the water. They probably won’t remember about Newton’s law but they had fun.
Lastly, we tried to break the eggs by squeezing them in our hands. Not one broke.
Thursday we talked about symmetry. I explained that some things are exactly the same on one side as the other side and this is symmetry. Then we made snowflakes to show this.
We checked our eggs that we put in vinegar. The shells disintegrated off the egg leaving only the membrane. We each got to feel it and it felt like a rubber ball. The eggs weighed, 85 and 90 grams. I explained that an egg is a cell and things can go in and out of the membrane and that is why it weighed more.
The next thing we did is put Karo syrup on the eggs to see what will happen. We went outside. Have a great night! Mrs. Stavos
11-24-20 For stem, we had Thanksgiving fun. We looked at, and then made predictions if Indian corn would grow. We put the Indian corn in water and then made Indian corn cookies.
We frosted a cookie and then put m & m’s on to make them look colorful like Indian corn.
We checked our sweet potato and it hasn’t sprouted yet.
We made turkeys with the coffee filter chromatography that we did last week. One went into our STEM notebooks to represent the Thanksgiving fun we had today and the other was sent home. Then we enjoyed some fresh air playing outside. Happy Thanksgiving!!! Mrs. Stavos
11-17 and 11-19-20 On Tuesday, we are trying to sprout a sweet potato. We made predictions if the sweet potato would grow. 6 students said ‘no’ it wouldn’t, 5 said ‘yes’. We will look at this everyday that we are here.
The students worked with a partner and did cup stacking to see who could make the highest tower. They took pictures on Seesaw.
We spent some time outside.
On Thursday, we did coffee filter chromatography. We colored the coffee filters with washable markers and then sprayed water on them. That was the student’s favorite part!
We will use these next week for an art project.
We checked our sweet potato but it is not growing yet.
The students also built with Legos.
We went out and enjoyed the nice weather. Have a nice night! Mrs. Stavos
11-10 and 11-12-20 Tuesday we made cranberry structures and I had the students take pictures of their creations with the iPad through Seesaw.
Seesaw invitations went home this week if you want to look at what your child has in their portfolios. There is a picture that they took of themselves and the pictures of the cranberry structures.
We enjoyed the new snow.
On Thursday we practiced writing our numbers and letters in seeds.
The students observed that the seeds were different colors and sizes as we were writing. We then did a seed sort.
In our science journals, we made a picture with the sorted seeds.
We went out in the falling snow. Have a great night! Mrs. Stavos
11-3-20 We worked with puzzles. Such as Rubic’s cubes and the metal wire ones that you try to get apart and back together again.
We rotated about every minute because there were a lot of them to get through. Some of them were easier than others. Some the children could get them apart, but not back together again. It was fun.
Remember conferences are Thursday. We went outside for a little while. Have a great night! Mrs. Stavos
10-27 and 10-29-20 On Tuesday, in preschool STEM class we focused on math.
We used measurement and made pumpkin bread. We talked about what each ingredient does. Each student got to measure and put something in the bowl. I did not have students mix it this year.
We sampled the pumpkin bread when we had snack.
We sang and danced to some Halloween songs.
We went outside.
On Thursday, we had Halloween fun! I read the story, Click, Clack Boo. We worked at 4 different Halloween stations.
Make skeletons out of cotton swabs.
Dissolving ghosts.
Tootsie pop spiders.
Pumpkins
If the students got done early at one of the stations they played with screaming ghosts (balloons). We were able to spend time outside. Happy Halloween!!! Mrs. Stavos
10-20 and 10-22-20 We worked with Cubetto on Tuesday. Cubetto is a little robot that can be programmed to go where the students want it to go. Since this was our first time using Cubetto, I had them explore but I did show them where to start and to not use the blue shapes.
When discussing what they learned, they said that the green shape moved Cubetto straight. Yellow and red shapes made Cubetto turn. They had a lot of fun!
We went outside and enjoyed that lovely snow.
On Thursday for STEM, we used iPads to go into Seesaw. The students took some pictures of themselves today. I wanted them to learn how to use the camera so when we build things, the students can take pictures to put into their portfolios. Once I get your email addresses into the system, the students will be able to send you the pictures they take.
Since we had to take turns with the iPads, some of the students worked with Cubetto again.
It was a little wet outside so we went for a nature walk to get some fresh air. The students noticed that a lot of the trees were bare. Some still have colored leaves on them and some had green leaves. I hope you have a great weekend! Mrs. Stavos
10-13-20 Just before snack, I read a story and we talked about migration. Then the students got into a V formation to go to collect their snacks in various areas of the room. For STEM today, we laid out cardboard, tubes, cars and marbles and let them explore. Many students made ramps. They observed that in most cases, the marbles went farther than the cars they had. Some students even extended the tunnels by using more than one tube or cardboard. Some students worked collaboratively to build a ramp.
We went to the gym today for a little while and also went outside and enjoyed the nice weather.
Have a great night! Mrs. Stavos
10-6 and 10-8-20 On Tuesday we talked about density. This is a hard concept for the little ones. I told them that everything is made of little pieces so small that we can’t see them. Some of these pieces fit together loosely and some are packed together very tightly.
To demonstrate this, I put on a glove and ran my hand through popcorn to show all the kernels were loose.
Then we made popcorn balls to show that now the popcorn is packed more tightly. I had all the students put on gloves and make their own. While the popcorn balls cooled we did another example of density.
We poured water with oil to see what happened and talked about which one might have pieces that are packed more tightly; The water because it was on the bottom.
Then we made a lava lamp out of the example. This is something that can be done easily at home just fill a clear plastic water bottle 1/3 full of water. Then add oil till it is about 1 ½ -2 inches from the top. Drop some food coloring into it. This will color the water. Then break up an alka-seltzer tablet and drop it in the bottle (I did this). The alka-seltzer makes the water bubble through the oil.
We had a fun day but I didn’t have time to take pictures as my hands were a little sticky and oily. I usually have time to take pictures if the students are working more independently on things such as building.
Thursday we had an awesome day in STEM preschool! We played line tag in the gym.
We did a sink or float experiment. The students had a lot of fun with this. They made predictions before even getting near the water because otherwise that wouldn’t have happened.
We had a discussion on why some things floated or sank. I tried to bring up our popcorn experiment. At least they are getting exposed to the concept of density even if they don’t quite understand it.
The students were able to look at green and colored leaves through a magnifying glass. They also did a rubbing of the leaf.
We went outside and enjoyed the nice weather. Have a great weekend! Mrs. Stavos
9-29 and 10-1-20 On Tuesday, we had fun making slime. We made it with shaving cream, glue, baking soda and saline solution.
It was a sticky mess but it was fun to play with. It also glows in the dark!
We went outside on this chilly day.
Our focus on Thursday was math.
The students had different sized triangles to use and put them together to create another shape. Some made squares, rectangles, house shapes and much more.
We taped together one of their shapes to glue into their STEM notebooks as a reminder of what we did today.
We tried to go outside today but it started raining after only 5 minutes. So we danced and sang in the classroom. Have a great weekend! Mrs. Stavos
9-24-20 Just a note to let you know what a typical day for our STEM class consists of.
When the students come in the morning, they have playtime, which includes some STEM activities.
Then we move to circle time, this is when we do the morning message, daily prayer, and calendar/weather activities.
We then have a restroom break and snack.
Next is our STEM lesson. I just want you to know that I won’t be sending a lot of projects home because STEM is more hands on. The students also keep a STEM notebook that they date each day and write, draw or do an art project of what we did in STEM for the day. This notebook will come home at the end of the year. Today we made tin foil boats and floated them on water.
We did go to the gym for a while after STEM.
When we got back from the gym, we worked in our journal.
We try to go outside everyday as long as the weather permits. I hope your children are enjoying the STEM class as much as I am! I love working with this amazing little group! Have a great weekend! Mrs. Stavos
9-22-20 Today for STEM, we built with Zome tools. These are different colored rods that you connect to a ball. The ball has different shaped openings and the different colored rods have different shaped ends to fit in them. The students were very creative with their construction.
We went to the gym.
We went outside and enjoyed the nice weather.
9-15 and 9-17-20
Tuesday during our STEM class we focused on Math.
We explored pattern blocks. Found patterns in the classroom and created our own patterns.
We stamped a pattern in our STEM notebooks using paint and pattern blocks to commemorate our day.
We also spent some time outdoors playing on this wonderful day!
Thursday for STEM, our focus was technology.
The students got to explore on an iPad after learning how to handle them. We carry them with 2 hands and lay them on a table to play with them. They learned how to turn an iPad on and how to use their fingers to scroll through the screens to find something they wanted to play.
While some students were learning about iPads, the other were building with other toys.
We wrote in our STEM notebooks and went outside for a bit.
This is really a great group! They work and play well together.
Have a great weekend! Mrs. Stavos
9-10-20 Today we had fun going to the gym and playing Duck, Duck, Gray Duck. I then read the story, The House that Jack Built, and we got to build with planks. I asked the students if all the buildings were the same and of course they were not. I asked them their strategy for building and what they did if something went wrong. We made a picture in our STEM notebooks and spent some time outside. I really enjoy this little group! I was going to try to do daily updates, but I find that I run out of time so I will be doing a weekly update instead. If you ever have any questions, please contact me. Have a great night! Annette Stavos
9-8-20 Today in preschool we learned about snails. I read the book, “Are you a Snail?” and then the students got to look at snails and snail shells through a magnifying glass. We made a snail art project. We also built with Lego’s. Look for snail pictures in the children’s folders. We went to the gym for a quick game of Duck, Duck, Gray Duck. We also went outside on this chilly day. Have a great day, Mrs. Stavos
9-3-20 Today in preschool we went to the gym and played red light, green light. The students, Mrs. Jirak and I went on a nature walk. Each student is coming home with a bag of items they found. When we came back to the classroom, we drew pictures in our STEM journals of what we saw. We talked about the things that we found. We went outside to play in this beautiful weather. We had a lot of fun! Have a great day, Mrs. Stavos
