Dora Reed news
By PAT SWAYNEY
As you may have noticed, the
Dora Reed Center has a new
look. Hanging flower baskets
have been hung, and some new
flower pots have been filled with colorful
flowers at the entrance of the
building. Even the pink flamingos
have come to stay in the front yard.
A very special thank you to parents
Darrell and Qiana Wiggins for working
hard to make this project a success
for the students and staff and
caring so much about the center.
Everything looks wonderful!
The staff would also like to
share with the communities some of
the terrific summer activities that
they are doing in the classrooms.
Most of them are focusing on the
beach by making handprint crabs,
paper plate sea turtles, fish bowls,
colored sand projects and water play.
Other teachers and students are
working diligently on a variety of
projects such as handprint flags,
beaded necklaces, and lady bug sun
catchers. Other class activities involved
the earth, gravity, the sun,
dragonflies, picnics and watermelons.
The children enjoyed using the
real seeds to make pretend watermelons,
and they also enjoyed planting
flowers in their flower beds outside of
their classrooms.
We hope everyone has a
great summer!
Pat is the literacy coordinator at the
Dora Reed Center.
