The Sprouts classroom celebrated the culmination of their ‘Backyard Birds’ unit with a special bird picnic. We made a bird feeder together, read a few of our favorite stories, and enjoyed a snack as a classroom at the park. We talked about everything we learned in the last few weeks and went bird watching as well! We spotted a robin in the trees and listened to its calling. It was a wonderful morning in nature! 💚🐦🌱

✨ Saplings Field Trip Alert! ✨

Our students embarked on a walking trip to .chicago where they extended their art unit to real-life and hands-on experiences. Our Sapling students were able to observe step-by-step how artists create pottery pieces and were able to create a piece of their own! A beautiful plate marked with each child’s fingerprint. A huge and special thank you to .chicago for welcoming us into their gorgeous space. We had an incredible time! 🎨🏺💜

Check out what our students are exploring in their classrooms this Spring! 🔎🌸

💚 Saplings: Our older preschool students have been studying various mediums of art and learning about artists such as Claude Monet, Henri Matisse, and Georges Seurat.

💚 Sprouts: Our younger students started a new ‘Backyard Birds’ unit and have been studying robin nests. Our little ornithologists have begun identifying and learning about robins, cardinals, blue jays, crows and much more!

💚 School Community: We started planting in our classrooms! Our students will care for the seeds as they grow into sprouts and eventually, get transferred into our Learning Garden. This years theme — Fairy Garden! 🧚🏻

We love this photo that Ms. Guaman took while on a nature walk! During the week, the Sprouts’ classroom explore their neighborhood and carefully observe the seasonal changes surrounding them. A class favorite is the sound of the crunchy leaves under our shoes as we take in the beauty of Bucktown. 🍂💛
