September 2025

We had a fantastic start to the school year in Classroom Two! September was packed with excitement, learning, and new experiences as we transitioned from summer into the beautiful season of fall. The children settled in wonderfully, and we jumped right into our new curriculum with eager minds and curious hearts.

This month, we explored a variety of engaging subjects. In our "All About Me" unit, students shared special things about themselves, helping us build a strong classroom community and celebrate each child’s uniqueness. We also dove into the five senses and perception, learning how we explore the world around us through sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Our exploration of the plant world included hands-on activities like seed sorting and nature walks to observe how plants change with the seasons. We also began learning about the different categories of animals, identifying characteristics that make each group unique—mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and insects.

Our Book of the Month was "The Kissing Hand" by Audrey Penn, a touching story that helped ease first-day jitters and encouraged emotional expression. The story sparked great conversations about feelings, separation, and love, and we created art projects based on the book to take home to our families.

During cooking enrichment, we had fun creating mixed fruit and yogurt parfaits, practicing fine motor skills while layering ingredients. We also made adorable little graham cracker people, which tied into our “All About Me” theme—each cracker person represented something special about the child who made it!

In Spanish enrichment, we learned a variety of useful and polite words and phrases, including sí, no, gracias, hola, adiós, por favor, buenos días, and buenas noches. The children enjoyed singing songs, practicing pronunciation, and playing games to reinforce their new vocabulary.

Our special science theme of the month focused on the life cycle of a frog. We read books, watched videos, and created diagrams showing each stage—from egg to tadpole to froglet to adult frog. The highlight was observing our own school tadpoles, and we’re all excited to see them grow and transform in the coming weeks.

September was full of discovery, creativity, and joy. We’re off to a great start and can’t wait to see what October has in store!

Summer 2025

What an incredible summer we had in Classroom Two! We said fond farewell to friends who moved up to Classrooms Six and Seven and celebrated with a calendar full of exciting field trips. Dana the Magician amazed us with mind-bending tricks, Atomic Amy the Mad Scientist wowed us with hands-on experiments, and Radical Reptiles introduced us to fascinating lizards, snakes, and turtles.



Each week brought special traditions that quickly became favorites—splashing during water play Tuesdays, giggling through bubble play Wednesdays, and cooling off with popsicles every Friday. Our big Field Day on August 27th was a showstopper, complete with colorful face painting, lively games, a foamy dance party, and so much more. Throughout the summer we explored engaging themes like STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), the Circus, Community Helpers, and the wonders of Ocean Life, sparking curiosity and creativity in every child.

As we turn the page to a brand-new school year, our classroom is buzzing with excitement. We’re eager to welcome new friends, build lasting friendships, and dive into fresh lessons and discoveries. Here’s to a 2025–2026 school year filled with laughter, learning, and countless amazing moments together!
