🎄 **Agent Snow’s Turtle Class Dino safari** 🐢✨

Today he is hanging out with the **Turtles** – wow, what an exciting bunch!
Teacher **Jacqui** and Assistant **Thula** have **19 clever Grade R kiddos**…
**10 girls and 9 boys** who are almost *ready for the big adventure*…
🌟 **Grade 1 is calling!** 🌟

🧠 **Fun fact about 5–6 year olds:**
At this age, children’s brains are exploding with new skills! Their reasoning improves, they start solving problems more independently, their vocabulary grows rapidly, and they begin showing more confidence in what they can do.

📘 **Something exciting about Grade 1:**
Next year they’ll start learning to read full sentences and write on their own — a HUGE milestone that opens a whole new world of imagination!

And of course…
🦖 Agent Snow heard that teaching is a “walk in the park”…
So naturally… **Jurassic Park** it is!
He decided to help out by *feeding the dinosaurs* today! 😉

🌿🦗 GRASSHOPPER VISIT! Day ❄️ with Agent Snow! 🦗🌿**

Guess who got all tangled in fairy lights while trying to *“help”* the Grasshoppers?
✨ Our silly Agent Snow! ✨

Today he’s hanging out with **Teacher Angela** & **Assistant Sime** in the **Grasshopper class** (ages **3–4**).
There are **14 little hoppers** – **7 boys** and **7 girls** – practising their BIG skills every day!

💚 **Fun fact about 3–4 year olds:**
They’re starting to *imagine like little storytellers!* Their pretend play makes learning explode with creativity! 🎭✨

🎉 **What are they learning now?**
✔ Taking turns
✔ Building sentences
✔ Sharing (sometimes 😜)
✔ Jumping, hopping & climbing like real grasshoppers!

🤣 **Joke of the Day:**
**Why did the grasshopper join the class?**
👉 *He wanted to learn how to hop to conclusions!* 🦗😂

🌟 **Elf Fact:**
Agent Snow says: “Elves hop… and help tidy up… *sometimes.* Mostly, we make the mess sparkle!” 😜✨

🪼✨ *Agent Snow got stuck… but he’s spying on the Jellyfish!**
He wiggled his way through the blinds and discovered a bunch of **BIG kids** who are nearly ready for *Grade 1!* 😱✏️📚

Here’s what Agent Snow found while untangling his arms:

🐠 **Class:** The Jellyfish
👩‍🏫 **Teacher Megan**
👩‍💼 **Assistant Busi**
👧👦 **18 superstars:** 11 girls & 7 boys
🎒 **They’re Grade R learners (5–6 years old)** and VERY proud of it!

💡 **Fun Fact about kids turning 6:**
They suddenly start asking smart questions like scientists…
but also run, hop and jump everywhere like superheroes with extra sugar! 🦸‍♂️🍬

🎉 **Grade 1 Milestone to Look Forward To:**
They’ll get their own BIG books, learn tricky sight words, and…
📝 **write sentences all by themselves!**
(Agent Snow says that’s “serious spy training” 😎)

🪼 **Jellyfish Joke of the Day:**
*Why did the jellyfish bring a backpack to school?*
👉 *Because it didn’t want to be a “drifter” anymore!* 🐙📚😄

🍼✨ **Our Elf discovered the CUTEST place on Earth… the Baby Class!**
Today he tip-toed in *very quietly*, because these kiddos are little, cuddly, and sometimes sleepy! 😴💕

And guess what? He says these babies have *the coolest stuff* — diapers, creams and toys… and apparently some of it is **his size too!** 🤭😂

👶 Age group: **3 months to 17 months**
👩‍🏫 Teachers: **Belinda & Rejoice** — the Queens of cuddles and bottles 👑🍼
💗 8 adorable tiny cuties babies fill this room: 5 boys & 3 girls
🧠 **Fun fact:** Babies this age learn with their whole body — they taste toys, shake everything, wiggle like jelly, and explore with their hands AND their mouths! 😂

🌱 **Exciting Milestones** around 3–17 months:
✨ Rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, walking…
✨ Smiling, clapping, waving, babbling “mama”, “dada”, “baba”
✨ And stealing hearts every single day! 💖

🎁 Agent snow said that he tried to help with diaper duty…
but the smell made him *“Ho-Ho-Hold his breath!”* 😜💨

🐛🌞 **Day 4: Our Elf is just HANGING OUT!**
Today he wriggled his way to the **Caterpillar Class** and decided to literally *hang around* until he learns more! 😂

Here’s what he found out while dangling from the line:

🍃 This is the busy **3–4 year old Caterpillar Crew**
💚 They’re cared for by **Teacher Sabrina** and **Assistant Bridget**
🦋 There are **16 awesome little wigglers**: 10 girls and 6 boys!
🎨 They love creating, pretending, moving, dancing and being BUSY (just like real caterpillars wiggling nonstop!)
🧠 Fun fact about 3–4 year olds:
They suddenly start asking **million-dollar questions** like “BUT WHY?” and guess what… they want answers every time! 😆💡

🐛 **Caterpillar Joke of the Day:**
😄 *Why do caterpillars love school?*
👉 *Because they learn a lot and turn into “smart-erflies!”*

❄️😄 Day 3: *Agent Snow* is making… SNOW ANGELS!?
He slid into the classroom, covered in “snow,” and asked:
👀 “These kids look BIGGER… what can you tell me about the Penguins?”

So he dug around in the flour and here’s what he learned 👇🐧

👦👧 They’re the big Grade RR Penguins (ages 4–5)!
🖊️ They can write their own names now — he says that makes them look super smart! 💡
🏃‍♂️💬 At this age they talk faster than he can blink and move quicker than he can clean up flour 🤣
💛 Their classroom has so much yellow that he thought he needed sunglasses! 😎🌼
🐧 Fun Penguin Fact: Penguins LOVE to slide… just like he did today, except he used FLOUR instead of ice! 😂❄️

Elf Joke of the Day:
☃️ Why did the elf bring flour to school?
👉 Because he wanted to make dough-nuts of friends! 🍩😆
