🌞🐊 Learning, Laughing & Playing Together! 🐊💚

There was lots of learning and fun happening in Ms. Landry’s! 💚

Our little Gators enjoyed Outdoor Play and Center Fun, giving them opportunities to explore, move, create, share, and learn alongside their friends. 🛝☀️🧩🧸

In Pre-K, play is learning! Through play, our little learners are building friendships, practicing independence, developing creativity, and growing important social and academic skills every day. 🌱✨

✨🚲Rolling Into a Great Year! 🚲✨

From Mrs. Delahoussaye’s class to every room in the building, our students are rolling into a school year full of learning, laughter, and fun! We can’t wait to see what all of our little learners accomplish this year! 🚌🏨✨

💚🐊 Friends Learn & Grow Together! 🐊💚

Today in Mrs. Plaisance and Ms. Jay’s class, our little Gators practiced one of the most important parts of Pre-K — being a good friend! 🥰

They practiced playing together, taking turns, and sharing toys with their friends. 🧸🧩🚗 They also got a little messy with a fun handprint craft 🎨🖐️ to create a visual reminder of their friendship circle!

Little hands + kind hearts = BIG friendships! 💚💛
