📚🐮 Story Time Took a Delicious Turn!

Ms. Emily read us “Mootilda’s Bad Mood”, and we took turns sharing times we’ve been in a bad mood—and what helped us feel better. 💛

Then Mrs. Ly surprised us after visiting Mootilda herself! She brought back some of Mootilda’s milk as a gift. 🥛🐮

We shook it… and shook it… and SHAKED IT SOME MORE! 😂 And just like magic, it turned into the lightest, fluffiest whipped cream! ☁️

Of course, we couldn’t wait to taste our moo-velous creation! 😋🐮

✨✏️ Look at our little girl, Luella! 🥹💗👧🏼

At just TWO years old 🥰🎀, she’s practicing writing her name! 📝💪🏼 With some verbal cues 🗣️💕, patience, and lots of hard work, she’s learning those letters one by one! 🔤✨

We are SO proud of you, Luella! 🥹😭💖🌸 You’re working so hard, little girl! 💪🏼📝👏🏼 Keep practicing, keep learning, and keep growing! 🌱✨💗

🐄📚 This morning, our little learners went on a farmyard adventure! 🚜🌾

We listened to the delightful story “Not Now! Said the Cow” 🐮📖 — a fun story all about animal teamwork on the farm! 🐷🐔🐴🐑

After our story, we headed over to the 🎨 Art Table 🎨, where our little artists painted farm animal footprints! 🐾🖌️🐄🐖🐔

This creative activity helped us discover that every animal on the farm is unique 🌟🐮🐷🐔 — just like each and every one of our wonderful little learners! 💕👧🧒✨

And just as every animal has an important role on the farm, everyone has something special to contribute to the team! 🤝💪🌈

When we work together, share our ideas 💡, help one another 🫶, and use our unique strengths 🌟, we can accomplish so much more — better and faster, together! 👫🤝🎉

🐮🐷🐔🐴 Different animals. Different strengths. One amazing team! 💕🌾🚜

✏️✨ Follow Along With Archer’s Writing Journey! ✨✏️

This little guy LOVES to write and enjoys playing with play-dough and spending time with his friends! 🥰📝🧸💙

Did you know that Archer and his friends spend less than 10% of their day on academics and 90% interacting, playing, and socializing with their peers and teachers? 🤝💬❤️

Here are 3 things that make a difference:

1️⃣ Being at school Monday–Friday 🏫
2️⃣ A mixed-age Montessori-style group 👧🏽👦🏼
3️⃣ One-on-one time attention with teachers 👩🏽‍🏫❤️

If you’ve been following our school from the beginning, you may have noticed the special way our students hold their pencils and position their paper. ✏️📄 This technique supports attention, focus, visual retention, and recognizing the curves and lines of each letter. 🧠✨

And this is Archer’s SECOND video writing his name! 🥹💙✏️ The improvement is already incredible!

We are so proud of Archer and each and every one of our students! 👏🏽❤️

🌟 Way to go, Archer! Keep writing, little guy! 🥰📝💙

Look at how incredibly cute our little pirate parrot turned out! 🦜🏴‍☠️

📚🌸 Come along with us to the library! 🥰✨

We were a few minutes early, so we explored the library garden 🌿🌼 and even picked some flowers! 💐 Then we headed straight to Ms. Courtney for 🎶 music & movement and 📖 story time!

🏴‍☠️ Ahoy, matey! We learned all about pirates—how they dress 👒🦜, what they like to do ⚓️, and even how they talk! 🗣️🏴‍☠️

Then it was time for some 🎨 art! We colored, glued, and created our very own pirate parrots! 🦜✂️🌈

It’s so much fun learning something new each week! 💕📚 We can’t wait to see what Ms. Courtney has planned for us next week! 🤩🎶✨

💚 Our little farmers had so much fun heading outside to harvest the corn! 🌽 What a fun experience watching their hard work come to life! The corn may be all harvested now, but there’s no shortage of excitement in our garden. 🌻🌱

We’re looking forward to our sunflowers and okra that we planted just two weeks ago. They’re already growing strong, and we can’t wait to watch them grow, bloom, and eventually harvest them too! 🥰🌻💚

So many little hands, big smiles, and exciting things growing! 🌱
