Butterfly release! As a part of science, ECC students study the life cycle of a butterfly. Each classroom watches as butterflies emerge from a crysalis, grow over a few weeks, then fly off. Students in Miss Joanna's class cheered as they flew away.
Students at the ECC are learning about our community and the many jobs in Agawam. A fire truck stopped by to visit us and the students loved seeing it and hearing from Allan Burrage, one of Agawams finest. It was a great day to practice a fire drill too.
The ECC had some storybook fun today. Students and staff were invited to wear their favorite character from a book. Some of our staff took the theme route and dressed as Winnie the Pooh characters. Great job ECC team!
Some of our Pre-k students made fast friends with Agawam Senior, Sierra over the last few months. Sierra completed an internship with us here at the ECC. All together we had six interns with us. They were a big help and learned a lot about Pre-k! Congratulations to our senior friends.
Look at this amazing photo of a future educator. He stopped by to visit the ECC today and loved our office chair.
What do ECC students do on a rainy day to get some gross motor time? Scooters! Students in Miss Debbie and Miss Pam's classroom have some fun with highschool students, Morgan and Gabriella.
