Curious minds and crunchy apples! 🍎✨ Mrs. Raynor’s PreK class spent last week exploring apples — painting with them, practicing numbers, creating fabulous artwork, and using microscopes to investigate up close. They put lots of important skills to the test: creativity, observation, and early math.

Congratulations to our September Character Ed Students of the Month! These students consistently demonstrated the character trait of responsibility — from meeting commitments to helping classmates and taking ownership of their learning. We are so proud of their hard work and leadership!

Earlier this week, our little learners in Mrs. Cullipher's PreK class worked on a fun hands-on activity where they decorated their apple trees using colorful cereal. This activity encouraged fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, concentration, creativity, and following directions while allowing our Pre-K friends to learn through play and exploration. We love making learning fun, hands-on, and meaningful!
