Do you have children's books you don't need or want? The Parents of ECC are looking for donations of children's books: story books, picture books, chapter books, etc. We have a donation box at the ECC on Perry Lane. If you want to donate some books, please stop by. Thank you.
Movement and exercise! ECC students and staff enjoy our gross motor time. During the cold winter days we don't get outside as much. The ECC team brainstormed ideas to keep us moving. Scooters and a walking path are used inside to provide fun exercise and movement. Stay tuned for a sensory wall that will be added to our fun!

Oh what fun we have in January at the ECC. We play in the snow....inside! NO winter gear needed for this fun activity. We chill on ice with fish and polar bears. And we go ice fishing under the snow tent. Can you say F-U-N?! Students are from Miss Lauren's and Miss Michele's classrooms.

Miss Chrissy one of the ECC SLPs (speech language pathologists) works with one of our students. Tops are so much fun and aid in prompting all kinds of fun words. Smiles were everywhere.
Ice skating indoors? Oh yes we do at the ECC!
Students in Miss Lauren's classroom skate on "ice" using fuzzy socks. They can also choose to wear a winter hat and scarf. The students love this center activity. The adults do too.
Happy January ECC Families! Important January dates:

Comradery from afar: School Resource Officer John Nettis received a special gift all the way from Turkey. Staff member, Miss Ayla gave John a gift from her father who is also a police officer in Turkey. The gift keeps law enforcement safe.
Agawam School Resource Officers John Nettis and John Fields came to the ECC to visit with students and staff. The students enjoyed sharing their excitement for the upcoming holidays. Smiles and fist bumps were aplenty. The ECC students loved sharing their knowledge and creativity with them. Thank you to both officers for keeping our students, staff and schools a safe place to "bee".
