🌳 Tree-mendous News! Algonquin Pre K Center is digging into the wonderful world of trees! We'll be tree detectives, discovering who calls them home, what they're made of, and who takes care of them. 🔍

Through this leafy adventure, we're nurturing a deeper love for nature while sneaking in literacy, math, art, and SEL skills! 🌿 The kiddos will get their hands dirty with real scientific investigations and explore important concepts through firsthand discoveries.

Can't wait to see how our little nature enthusiasts branch out in their learning! 🌲 Watch for twigs and leaves that might make their way home in pockets... all in the name of science, of course! 🍃

¡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! 🎯

September 17

On September 17, we celebrated a very special document called the Constitution. It helps keep our country fair and safe for everyone! Just like we have rules in our classroom and at home, the Constitution is a big set of rules for our country.

Let’s remember to be kind, share, and help each other—just like the Constitution teaches us to be good friends and neighbors! 💙✨

Today, take a moment to remember the significance of September 11th - talk with your little about heroism, unity, and the importance of helping others. Even young hearts understand the power of gratitude and compassion. ❤️ These meaningful conversations help us nurture empathy and citizenship in our future leaders.

Creating a safe and kind environment at school starts with open conversations at home.
At Algonquin PreK Center, it's never too early to talk with our pre-k littles about what bullying is and why kindness is so important. We are committed to fostering a community where everyone feels respected and valued.
Let's work together to be kind to one another and teach our littles to do the same.
