TEACHER TUESDAY!
This week we feature the Baraga County classrooms of L'Anse EHS, June Forest EHS and Baraga Best Start! In L'Anse, children experienced working on math concepts and big body movement on the snow hills.
At June Forest, so many opportunities for shared play spaces and materials!
Baraga Best Start worked as an engineering team to unearth fossils as archaeologists and playing tic-tac-toe

TEACHER TUESDAY!
This week teachers at Ryan Pre-K and Barkell Pre-k shared how they are working on using writing tools to make letters and letter like shapes along with patterns. When it was too cold outside, we brought the outdoors in, with some great snow activities and using the large parachute. Who didn't love the big parachute when we were all younger?!

TEACHER TUESDAY
This week our classrooms at the L'Anse Preschool, CJ Sullivan Preschool, and CJ Sullivan Best start show us how important moving our bodies outdoors is and also how environmental print in preschool can prepare our students for reading and writing in kindergarten. We also have a lot of math skills being built with our play based learning! BHK is now accepting applications for preschool for the 2026-27 school year. Sign up now at bhkfirst.org!

🚨🚨 TEACHER TUESDAY!! 🚨🚨

This week the EHS teachers from Dollar Bay and Little Gippers show us how important it is to practice using our fine and gross motor skills!

Did you know by the age of 3 a child's brain makes more neural connections than at any other time in their LIFE?! This is why primary caregivers plan for sensory experiences to be integrated into every part of the day.

Help us encourage your child to thrive by going to 💻🖱 www.bhkfirst.org 📱🤳 to sign up for center-based or home-based education opportunities!

TEACHER TUESDAY RETURNS! This week at our RLC center, we had parents visit to share their stories, lots of art exploration and dress up, and of course playing in the snow! We also used our Conscious Discipline® time turner to work together to solve problems. Keep your eyes open for more classroom features each week!
