✨📚 Thank you to everyone who came out for our Family Fun Night of Reading! We had an amazing turnout and so much fun with all the glow activities. Such a great night! 💡🌟

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

Our little shoppers helped animals get what they need — fun learning in action! 💵🐒🐘🦒🦁 #CrosBees
