There was something extra special happening in the preschool room today! 📚✨
Mrs. Lee brought her 1st grade reading group down the hall to share their growing reading skills with the preschoolers. The little ones loved listening to the big kids read, and the 1st graders were so proud to show off how much their fluency has grown this year.
Mrs. Rasmus especially loved having some of her former students back in her classroom and seeing just how much they’ve grown as readers since their preschool days. Moments like this are such a great reminder of how quickly these kids grow!
Mrs. Lee is always finding ways to encourage her readers—building confidence, celebrating their progress, and creating meaningful relationships with our youngest learners along the way.
Safe to say… fun was had by all! 💙📚

We wrapped up our Read Across America Week celebrations in preschool with our final guest reader! 📚🎉
Mrs. Weaver joined the class to read Wacky Wednesday by Dr. Seuss, and it was the perfect silly story to end a week full of reading fun. The students loved searching for all the wacky things on each page and sharing lots of giggles along the way! 🤪📖

📚🎩 Dr. Seuss Week Fun! 🎉
Our students and staff had so much fun celebrating Dr. Seuss Week with some creative dress-up days! From tall hats and silly socks to animal prints and dreaming about what we want to be when we grow up, the halls were filled with color, imagination, and lots of smiles.
Each day brought something new:
🎩 “The Cat in the Hat” – hats of all shapes and sizes
🐆 “Put Me in the Zoo” – animal prints everywhere
🧦 “Fox in Socks” – the silliest and most colorful socks
🚀 “Oh, the Places You’ll Go” – students dressing up as what they hope to be someday
It was so fun seeing the creativity from both students and staff as we celebrated reading and the joy that books bring. Thanks to everyone who joined in and made the week extra special! 📖✨
