📚🐛 Our Cardinals had a fun story time with The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle! They followed along as the caterpillar munched through all kinds of delicious food and learned about the days of the week along the way. A sweet mix of storytelling and learning — just the way we like it! 🍎🍓🍰📆

🍂 The ducklings are waddling into the season! 🐥✨ Although it’s not officially fall yet, we can already see the signs — cooler breezes, leaves starting to fall, and that fresh autumn feel in the air. They explored their spacious playground, taking in all the early magic of the changing season. So much room, so many discoveries — perfect for curious toddlers to explore! 💨🍁

🌟 Cardinal Class Hugs: A Simple Gesture, Big Impact! 🌟
In our Cardinals class, we know that sometimes, the best way to connect is through a simple hug. 🤗💖

Our class hugs aren’t just a moment of warmth, they’re a way to build trust, strengthen social bonds, and support each other. Whether it's a high-five or a full-on bear hug, these moments help foster a sense of belonging and well-being among us. 👫

Research shows that positive physical touch, like a hug, can reduce stress, boost mood, and promote feelings of security. By taking a few seconds to share a hug, we’re actively nurturing our emotional development and creating a supportive environment where everyone can thrive. 🌱💪

Here’s to continuing to build meaningful connections, one hug at a time! 💌

As they squished, rolled, and shaped the dough, our little learners were also practicing focus, patience, and social skills while sharing tools and ideas with their friends.
