We are bouncing into summer today at SDEDS! Thanks to our amazing Camp Director, Miss Kim, for organizing all our fun activities!

So fun to have the Goodyear Blimp circling over the church and school. It is in town due to the PGA at Aronimink. The Raccoons were excited to wave to the pilots. We went inside and did some research on the smartboard about the Goodyear Blimp. The blimp is filled with helium and there are three of them.

On Friday, the Pre-K Raccoons class and our Kindergarten were treated to a visit from Mr. Mike (Raccoon teacher’s husband). He brought in his NASA photos of the Apollo project and explained a lot about the rockets that took the astronauts to the moon. What a wonderful wrap-up to our unit on Space and the moon. The students listened with wrapt attention and asked great questions! What a fun and engaging morning at SDEDS!

This past Monday our students were treated to a visit from Blazing Trails Mobile Petting Zoo. Each class had the opportunity to visit with the animals, learn about their care and of course pet them.

What lucky teachers we are at St. David’s Episcopal Day School to have the most amazing parents??!! Teacher Appreciation Week started today with chalk greetings from parents and students and a beautiful breakfast spread. We are blessed!

The Pre-K classes enjoyed a visit with the St. David’s beekeeper, Cindy McCallum. Miss Cindy wore her beekeeper’s outfit, demonstrated how to assemble a bee box, let the students touch and smell a honeycomb and explained how a hive makes its own Queen. St. David’s Church has 8 hives and the honey from the hives is sold each year at the church fair in October.🐝🐝 🍯

In honor of Earth Day, our students planted flowers with our wonderful Nature Teacher, Miss Anne. A little rain didn’t stop them!
