We enjoyed learning and seeing family photos today! Our learners beam with happiness when speaking about their families!

Today was Family Friday to wrap up Week of the Young Child! Family Friday focuses on engaging and celebrating families, as we know this is the heart of supporting our youngest learners! We want to thank our families for always engaging and collaborating to ensure the success of each child. . . ¡Hoy fue Viernes Familiar para concluir la Semana del Niño Pequeño! Family Friday se enfoca en involucrar y celebrar a las familias, ya que sabemos que este es el corazón para apoyar a nuestros estudiantes más jóvenes.

Creativity fosters mental growth in children by providing opportunities for trying out new ideas, and new ways of thinking and problem-solving! Children develop creativity, social skills, and fine motor skills with open-ended art projects where they can use their imagination! The creativity in our littlest learners shined so BRIGHT on this rainy day!

April is Autism Awareness Month to increase understanding & acceptance of individuals with autism. To highlight this I ask all students and staff to 'LIGHT IT UP BLUE' EVERY FRIDAY (WEAR BLUE) for the month of April! We will focus and discuss the importance of being accepted and inclusive to all; understanding that we are all unique! . . ¡POR FAVOR USE AZUL MAÑANA! Abril es el Mes de Concientización sobre el Autismo para aumentar la comprensión y aceptación global de las personas con autismo.

Nos enfocaremos y discutiremos la importancia de ser aceptados e inclusivos para todos; entendiendo que todos somos únicos!

Today was Work Together Wednesday! Teamwork requires children to cooperate with each other, and children who learn these skills are also on their way to establishing solid skills in problem-solving, communication, listening, creativity, and self-esteem. We are ALWAYS working together in our classrooms!

We continue to celebrate our youngest learners on Work Together Wednesday today! Our students are taught and guided DAILY by teachers and staff on how to problem solve, communicate, listen, and socialize appropriately through the lessons and activities you implement each day!

Today we celebrated Tasty Tuesday! We highlighted healthy eating at home and school! This fun, food-themed day is about more than just cheese and crackers! With the rise in childhood obesity, we encourage healthy nutrition and fitness habits at home and in the classroom! Thank you to Food Services who provided a wide-variety of fruits and vegetables for ALL of our learners to taste today!

Musical Monday fun with our instruments! Music ignites all areas of child development and skills for school readiness, including intellectual, social-emotional, motor, language, and overall literacy. It helps the body and the mind work together!

Today we celebrated Musical Monday! Through music, children develop math, language, and literacy skills - all while having fun and being active! All of our learners enjoyed the Lion King Show presented by our LMS Drama Club today!Thank you, Superintendent Dr. Pedersen, Mrs. Gallopini and Mrs. Rogan for helping organize this event for us.

ECC read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and reviewed the days of the week, counting, nutrition, and the life cycle of a butterfly. Creativity and joy occurs through learning.

Room 18 receives trophies for identifying 40 & 60 sight words! Recognizing words by sight helps kids become faster, more fluent readers.

ECC completed an author study week with specific books and authors each day to celebrate reading! Our goal is to show our children the joy of reading and build a nation of readers. We celebrated on Read Across America Day & Dr. Seuss' Birthday, March 2nd, (and every day) using books that help students discover their own voices and learn from the voices of others.
