Learning is always extra sweet in Pre-K!
Mrs. Anderson's class wrapped up their author study on Laura Numeroff by reading "If You Give a Pig a Pancake." Students had fun naming the characters and identifying the setting before working together to create their own chart story: If You Give a Student a Pancake...
They picked their favorite toppings and quickly realized that if you give a Pre-K student syrup… they’ll definitely need to wash their hands!
Tick Tock! What Time Is It? ⏰
Ms. Sultan’s first grade math students are learning to tell time to the hour and half-hour! Their analog clocks have a special number line that snaps out, helping them count by fives. This hands-on tool makes it easy to see how a straight number line can curve into a circular clock—building strong number connections along the way!
