Pre-reading instruction continues during center time, with teachers providing individual and small group literacy support.

¡Fiesta time! 🎉 Our school was bursting with color and joy today as we celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month with an incredible parade! The highlight? Those delicious paletas (Mexican ice pops) that brought smiles to everyone's faces 🍡
Watching our little ones dance, learn, and celebrate different cultures truly warms the heart ❤️ These moments of sharing and understanding make our school community even stronger! From the rhythmic music to the vibrant decorations, every detail helped our students experience the beautiful richness of Hispanic culture 🎵
Special shoutout to our amazing community for making this celebration unforgettable! Together, we're teaching our children that diversity isn't just beautiful - it's delicioso! 🌟
🚪 Our BluePoint safety drill was a huge success today! 🌟 The whole school turned into silent ninjas, showing amazing teamwork and responsibility. Every door was securely locked, and everyone found their special hiding spots quicker than you can say "shhh!" 🤫 Proud of how our little champions took this important practice seriously while keeping their cool! Safety first, but we definitely earned some gold stars for our stellar performance! ⭐️ These drills help us stay prepared and protect our precious crew - and wow, did they rock it! 🎯
