Sunshine & Fun

Children need to remain active throughout the day; promoting outdoor play allows them to get fresh air and explore their environment more. Hands-on learning, the natural environment and loose parts in the outdoors stimulate children’s senses through what they hear, touch, see and feel.

Happy 4th of July!

We are so excited for the week ahead for all things red, white & blue in celebration of Independence Day! We've got lots of fun in store & can't wait to share it with everyone! Take a look at these adorable babies who also are ready for a great week of celebration!

Pets, Pets, Pets!

Today was bring your pet to school day! We had so many participants & are so grateful for our visitors. Pets ranged from beta fish, to a bearded dragon & plenty of dogs! The kids were able to meet several different breeds of dogs of all shapes & sizes. It was such a fun experience to see our pets at school today for all of our friends to see!

Snake Skin!

Our friends are discovering all types of animals during Wild Things week. Today's discussion included snakes and how they shed their skin. Snakes literally grow out of their skin. Every few months, most start rubbing against the ground or tree branches. Starting at the mouth, a snake slithers out of its too-tight skin. 

Our students were even able to see real snake skin!

Wild Things!

Our friends are discovering WILD THINGS this week! They have been learning about all kinds of animals, including birds, snakes, and even panda bears!

An animal is considered wild if it lives in the wilderness.Wild animals live in a habitat, which is their natural home, like a rain forest, a mountain, a pine tree forest, or a beach.

WE LOVE WATER DAY! Fridays are filled with so much fun & excitement at school. We all look forward to the laughs & smiles from everyone on water day. We are so thankful for the beautiful weather that we have had to make it all the more enjoyable!

School Bus Visit!

What a terrific morning our bootcampers had today! They started their day with a visit from a FSSD school bus! The kids were allowed ti board the bus & then took part in a question & answer session with the bus driver, Ms. Shawnta. Each child had the opportunity to speak with Ms. Shawnta & at the end, she even started the bus up so the kids could hear how loud it would be! A huge thanks to the Franklin Special School District for taking the time to visit us & help us better prepare our bootcampers for their first day of kindergarten!
