.x.andrea thanks for stopping by!

We’re so thankful for the gift and stickers you gave us 💕💕

Congrats to the winners of the Easter Colouring Contest! 🐰🐰

Spirit Week was sweet 💕

At circle time on Friday, we read the book “I Love You Because You’re You”.

We talked about people in our lives that love us “No matter what”. Even when we’re sleepy, silly, frightened, bashful, sad, playful, angry, and wild.

Children quickly realized that a lot of those “No matter what” people are photographed on our family board! We played a little I Spy to find friends, family, and teachers that love us through and through.

Happy family day everyone ❤️
Thank you for trusting us with a little piece of your heart everyday.

We had so much fun watching magic beans turn into sea creatures today!
