Larry Alert! Larry Alert!!! Our leprechaun has returned with more mischief! It is looking more and more like we are going to have to build some traps again this year.

K/1st: Week of 2/12

This week in Alpha… Alphas enjoying the movie Ezi made to cheer up our friend Anna when she was in hospital! Best medicine ever. This week in the Ocean… This week we learned how important the motion in the ocean is to the health of our planet and how global warming is putting that circulation in danger. If we put water in a tray, the water is very still – is the water at the shore still? Here’s how waves land on land – it doesn’t stay there, it moves back out, UNDER the swells! No Alphas were hurt in
