“One of the things in the past I really did not know is how to get my math test grade up but when I got a tutor (Ms. Sioux), she helped me with hard math problems. She made it simple for me and gave me different ways to do the math problems and (taught me) how to make sure my work is correct. Instead of getting C’s and D’s, I get A’s and B’s on my tests now.” – A. (6th grade student)

On the Teacher’s Hat Course:

“I imagine that a teacher’s hat looks a lot like the hat of a chef or maybe a baker. You take the fundamentals or say your building blocks, and piece by piece you send them into the bowl. It all mixes together and then you put it in the oven and out pops a delicious cake. The Teacher’s Hat puts the lessons in the most basic of terms, which makes learning them for the teacher easy and simple to digest. I learned a lot from the study guides, so much it makes me want to start learning all over again!!” – D.W. (adult student)

“I’m getting my brain sharper! I’ve been working on earlier math with Ms. Sioux (CLC tutor) and I definitely feel like I’m getting better. I’ve also been doing literature and poetry. I’m going to work on more math because I want to get even better than I am now.” -J. (5th grade student)

The butterfly garden is exploding with life at Community Learning Center!  Below are just a few pictures we took of the little (and not so little) guys.

Here are some fun facts about butterflies:

• Eastern monarchs overwinter in Central Mexico
• Females lay between 300 and 500 eggs.
• It takes about two weeks for a monarch to hatch from its cocoon to complete its transformation to a butterfly!
• Monarch butterflies that hatch in the late summer or early fall head for warmer weather.  Ours head for Central Mexico!
• Monarch butterflies will drink nectar from flowers, including milkweed.
• Monarch caterpillars only eat milkweed.
• The caterpillars eat for about 2 weeks before turning into a cocoon!
• The generation of monarchs that migrate live for several months so that they can make the journey back.
• There are four generations of monarchs born each year.
• They live for about 6 to 8 months.
