After eating our yummy green cupcakes 🧁💚, we turned into SUPER excited little explorers! 🌍😄✨ We found Ireland on the world map 🌎 and learned how St. Patrick traveled all around spreading kindness, friendship, and love 💚💛✨

That’s why we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day 🍀—and wear green to remind us that spring is coming!!! 🌱🌼💚🌈

☘️🍀💛Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀🌈💚

Today was SO much fun!!! 😄 We had the yummiest green cupcakes (thank you Rorie and Ollie!! 🧁💚) and yes… our tongues may or may not have turned green too 😜😂

We listened to Irish Celtic music 🎻🎶 and clapped along like real Irish Stepdancers 👏💃 (okay… maybe a little wiggly and silly 🤪). There was LOTS of giggling 🤭 and being the best friends ever 💚👯‍♀️👯‍♂️

We think a leprechaun might have visited… but he was too sneaky to catch! 🧝‍♂️🌈✨Best day ever filled with laughs, treats, and friendship 🍀💛

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!! 💚🌈

📚✨ An ordinary day turned into an amazing milestone for Ashlyn! ✨📚

Today Ashlyn was working hard on her smart sheet just like any other day… but then something incredible happened! 😄✏️ She surprised even herself by writing her numbers all the way past 30! 🔢🎉

With just a little prompt and encouragement, Ashlyn kept going and going… and before we knew it she had written her numbers all the way to 70! 🤯👏

What a moment of confidence, growth, and determination! 🌟 We are beyond proud of Ashlyn and all the hard work she puts in every day. 💖📖 Keep shining and reaching for those big numbers! 🚀🔢

Way to go, Ashlyn!! 🎉👏😊

🍀😄 Today we heard the silly story “There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Clover!” We giggled and laughed because… why would someone swallow a clover?! 😂🍀

Then we went to the art center 🎨 and made our own a clover leaves with paint and crayons. They turned out so colorful and bright! 💚🖌️

It was a fun way to end our St. Patrick’s Day week! ☘️

✏️🌟 Proud Teacher Moment! 🌟✏️

Ollie and our 3-year-old full-day friends have been working so hard, and we just had to celebrate this big accomplishment! 💛 We absolutely love when our little learners are able to write their own names independently on their artwork. Seeing them proudly sign their creations is such a special moment for all of us. 🖍️🖼️

All of their practice, determination, and growing confidence is really shining through! ✨ We are so proud to share that 99% of our full-day students can write their own first names, and 98% of our half-day friends can write theirs too! 🎉✏️

Watching their progress and growth makes us incredibly proud to be their teachers. They are doing amazing things every day, and we can’t wait to see how much more they learn and grow! 💙👏

Way to go, friends! 🌟✏️

🍀🌈 Continuing with our St. Patrick’s Day theme! 🌈🍀

Our little learners had so much fun creating today! 💚 Our younger friends practiced their gluing skills, while our more experienced friends worked on cutting ✂️ and gluing to create their very own pots of gold 🪙✨

The creativity and effort they put into their projects was amazing! 🤩 Each pot of gold turned out so colorful and unique 🌈🍀 We love seeing their skills grow while they have fun learning and creating together. 💚

Great job, friends! 👏🍀🌟

🌞✨ Morning Meeting Leader Spotlight: Lillian!✨🌞

Today we are celebrating our amazing Morning Meeting Leader, Lillian!👏💛

Lillian showed wonderful leadership skills by setting a great example for her younger friends while sitting at the carpet. She participated in all of our morning activities with enthusiasm and confidence! 🎶📚

From singing songs🎤🎵, practicing phonics🔤, helping with the calendar📅, and being a fantastic weather watcher🌤️🌧️ — Lillian was ready to lead the way!

Today, Lillian had the special opportunity to lead the entire class during Morning Meeting, and she did an incredible job! 🌟👩‍🏫 Her positive attitude and willingness to participate help make our classroom a fun place to learn.

Experiences like this are such a wonderful way to build self-confidence💪, a love for learning 📖❤️, and strong leadership skills🌟.

🌧️📚 Library Day Fun!🐍✨

It was raining hard today, but we made it to the library safely and were ready for an adventure! ☔😊

We started out with some fun music and movement, steering our bodies up and down like we were driving 🚗⬆️⬇️ and then wiggling into some silly snake movements🐍😜. The giggles started early!

Next, we listened to some funny snake stories and could not stop laughing 🤭📖. There were giggles all the way through each of the books!

After storytime, we headed to the art table🎨 where we colored our very own snakes and wrapped them around our necks like pet snakes for pictures 🐍📸. So creative and so fun!

We also learned some amazing snake facts:
🐍 Snakes shed their skin
👅 They have a unique tongue
🍽️ They can swallow their food without chewing!

It was such a fun and educational day, and we can’t wait to see what we will learn next week!🌟

A big THANK YOU to Ms. Courtney💛 for having us, teaching us, and planning such fun art activities that go along with our stories. We had a wonderful time! 📚🎨🐍
