Learning with Our Bodies and Imagination:
Today in Miss Miguel’s room, we worked on letters in a very fun way! The children played at forming letters with their own bodies, exploring their shapes while repeating their sounds. One of our students even wanted to step into the role of the teacher, saying the letter out loud and encouraging her classmates to create it with their bodies. It was such a special moment!
Activities like this are not only exciting for them, but they also come with many benefits:
✨ Encourages gross motor development
✨ Strengthens visual and auditory memory
✨ Helps connect letter–sound in a meaningful way
✨ Promotes creativity and teamwork
✨ Boosts confidence by giving them opportunities to lead
Aprendiendo con el cuerpo y la imaginación:
Hoy en clase de Miss Miguel hemos trabajado las letras de una forma muy divertida. Los niños jugaron a formar las letras con su propio cuerpo, explorando sus formas mientras repetían su sonido. Incluso una de nuestras alumnas quiso ponerse en el papel de profesora, diciendo la letra en voz alta y animando a sus compañeros a crearla con su cuerpo.
Este tipo de actividades no solo les encanta, sino que además tiene muchos beneficios:
✨ Favorece la motricidad gruesa
✨ Refuerza la memoria visual y auditiva
✨ Ayuda a relacionar letra–sonido de manera significativa
✨ Promueve la creatividad y el trabajo en equipo
✨ Potencia la confianza al darles oportunidades de liderar

This morning we had the honor of celebrating our veterans with a special breakfast and program. Thank you to all the veterans who joined us and to all who have served—your courage, sacrifice, and dedication mean so much to our community. We also want to give a big thank you to our second graders and members of the high school band for their wonderful performance that made the morning so meaningful and memorable. ❤️💙
Mrs. Juarez’s class had fun dressing up for their fall celebration 🎃
Students in the Tulip Room enjoyed doing different fall themed centers for our fall party!
Ms. Brady's students learned about pumpkins and then painted them.
Ms. Serrano's life skills students carved a pumpkin and were able to use their fine motor skills to dig the pumpkin guts out! Students were able to feel, smell, and touch the seeds and have fun taking turns :) Happy Halloween! 🎃

Wonderful world of math! With our kindergarden students we have been exploring that math is everywhere and they are learning how to count, represent and compare numbers and groups.
