🎨🐉 Art Spotlight: Chinese Zodiac Wands! 🧧✨

For art this week, our little learners got creative and made their very own Chinese Zodiac wands! 🪄🎉 Each wand represents one of the Lunar New Year animals and the special qualities they symbolize.

Here are the animals we learned about:
🐷 Pig – Kind and generous 💖
🐭 Rat – Resourceful and smart 🧠✨
🐰 Rabbit – Gentle and compassionate 🌸
🐯 Tiger – Brave and competitive 💪🔥
🐂 Ox- Reliable and diligent👏👌

We loved exploring the meanings behind each animal while creating something magical and fun! 🏮🎨

Happy Lunar New Year! 🧧🐲✨

Then it was time for our morning meeting! ☀️🗓️ We checked the calendar 📆, had our special weather watcher share the forecast 🌤️🌧️❄️, and did some fun phonics review 🔤📚🎶—just to name a few of the things we do together each morning!

Such a great way to start our day—learning, sharing, and growing together! 💛🌈😊

We couldn’t be more proud of Lillian! 🌟
In her last video, she was just beginning to learn how to read CVC words… and now look at her — reading short sentences with confidence! 📚✨

Your hard work, determination, and big smile make learning so much fun to watch. Way to go, Lillian! Keep shining and reaching for the stars!

This morning our little learners gathered for story time and listened to the book “The Grumpy Monkey” 🐵📖 — a sweet and silly story all about feelings, big emotions, and how it’s okay to not feel okay sometimes 💛💙❤️ We had such thoughtful conversations about recognizing our feelings and expressing them in healthy ways 🗣️✨

After story time, our busy bees headed to art class 🎨✂️ where they worked so hard on cutting/snipping, gluing, and lacing! 🧵🖍️ Our kiddos created beautiful shimmering lacing hearts 💖✨ It took all morning, but their focus and determination truly shined!

We are SO proud of them for strengthening their dexterity skills 🤲, practicing patience 🕰️, starting and completing a project from beginning to end 🔄✅, and most importantly, following 3+ step directions like superstars 🌟👏

Their perseverance, effort, and positive attitudes make our hearts so full 💕 We couldn’t be more proud of our little learners who always give their very best in everything they do 💫

We love our amazing kids!! 🥰💖✨

Those heart collages turned out AMAZING! 💖🎨

Come along with us to the library! 📚✨

We kicked things off with music and movements, shaking our sillies out! 🎶💃🤸🏽‍♀️

Then it was time to cozy up for stories 📖❤️ about Vikings and Sticklers who showed us that kindness and love make the world a happier place. 🛡️💌🌟

And then… the BEST part! 🎉 Heart Collage painting! 💖🎨🖌️ We mixed colors, painted and created beautiful hearts while strengthening our fine motor skills. 🌈✂️✋

So much creativity, so many smiles, and so much fun! 😊💕 We had the BEST time!

So proud of our superstar Swayze! 🌟📚💖

She’s been practicing reading her nonsense words and absolutely crushing it! 🧠✨ Sounding them out, trying her best, and showing off those amazing pre-reading skills like a champ! 🔤👏

Even though Swayze still has another year in pre-kindergarten, she’s already rocking her reading and shining so bright! 🌈🚀⭐

Watching her confidence grow and her love for learning makes our hearts so happy 🥹💕 Every little achievement is a BIG deal, and she’s doing an incredible job! 💕📖🦄✨

Keep it up, sweet girl — we are SO proud of you! 💖👏🌟

In preparation for our Valentine’s Day party 💌🎈, our little learners got busy decorating their very own bins 🧺✨ They added stickers galore 🥰🌈 and, with a little help from their teacher 👩‍🏫🎨, painted them with lots of love 💕🖌️

The results? Absolutely ADORABLE 😍💖 So colorful, so creative, and perfectly ready just in time for our party! 🎊💞 We can’t wait to celebrate! 💌✨
