Spotlight on Learning: Author’s Chair in Ms. Jimenez’s Class!

Our young writers in Ms. Jimenez’s class became published authors this week! Each student created their very own "All About Me" book, filled with drawings and stories about their lives, families, and favorite things.

To celebrate, students took turns sitting in the special Author’s Chair to read their creations aloud to their classmates and teachers. Sharing stories helps our students build confidence, practicing speaking and listening skills while celebrating what makes each of them unique!

Suds & Spelling !

Mrs. Roper's class had a foamy good time during literacy practice this week! To make learning hands-on and engaging, students traded in traditional pencils and paper for desks covered in fluffy shaving cream.

Using their fingers, our little learners practiced tracing their letters, spelling sight words, and writing their names directly on their tables. Not only does sensory writing help reinforce letter shapes and fine motor skills, but it also makes learning feel like play! Plus, as an added bonus, Mrs. Roper's desks have never been cleaner!
