✨🎄 Holly Jolly Fun at St. Anne! 🎄✨

Our Holly Jolly celebration was filled with wonder, creativity, and so many sweet moments! From hands-on sensory play and festive games to exploring the Nativity and spreading messages of joy, peace, and hope, our children truly embraced the magic of the season.

Watching their curiosity, excitement, and joy reminds us of the beauty of childhood and the true spirit of Christmas ❤️✨

Thank you to our amazing teachers for creating such meaningful experiences for our little ones.

✨ Classroom Highlight ✨
Today our students tapped into their creativity with a festive holiday art activity! Each child received a white piece of cardstock and used a variety of paintbrushes to design and decorate their very own Christmas tree. 🎄🎨

As they painted, we explored new vocabulary, talked about their decorating choices, and shared the meaning behind their unique creations. It was a wonderful opportunity for self-expression, language development, and celebrating the joy of the season! ❤️

Mystical Rose is getting into the Christmas spirit! 🎄✨

Our little artists decorated Christmas trees using sticker “ornaments,” turning a simple activity into a colorful masterpiece. They practiced fine motor skills, color recognition, and a bit of creative decision-making as they chose where each ornament should go. We love watching their confidence grow with every tiny sticker they place!

🍁 St. Anne Early Learning Center Thanksgiving Potluck🍁

What an incredible morning filled with gratitude, community, and togetherness! Our Thanksgiving Potluck was a beautiful reminder of how blessed we are to have such engaged, supportive, and loving families as part of our community.

From adding leaves to our Thankful Tree 🍂 to sharing delicious homemade dishes, laughing together, and watching the children proudly show their parents around — every moment was a gift.

A special thank you to all the families who attended, contributed, and made this gathering so meaningful. Your presence, your kindness, and your trust are what make our center feel like a true family.

We are grateful today and every day for each one of you.
Wishing all our families a joyful and blessed Thanksgiving! 🧡

👀 Nazareth Classroom Highlight! 👀

Our Nazareth students explored a spooky-theme Eyes Counting Bin as part of their hands-on sensory learning this week! Students searched through colorful pompoms to find hidden eyes — counting each one as they went!

This activity helps build early math skills, fine motor development, descriptive language, and confidence — all through play-based exploration.

We love seeing curiosity and learning come to life in our classrooms! 💛

Nazareth Classroom Highlight 🦴 Skeleton Dig Adventure!

Our Nazareth students dove into a hands-on science exploration today as they learned about the human body in a fun and spooky-themed way!

Through our Skeleton Dig activity, children practiced fine motor skills and curiosity as they searched through sand to uncover “bones” — then worked together to piece the skeleton back together. This activity helped spark early understanding of cause and effect, body awareness, and descriptive language, all while building confidence through sensory play.

🧪 Bethlehem Classroom Highlight!
This week in Bethlehem, our little scientists explored the magic of cause and effect through hands-on potion mixing!

The children used droppers to carefully combine water, baking soda, and food coloring — and watched with excitement as the mixture came to life when vinegar was added. This sensory science activity encouraged curiosity, fine motor control, and early STEM exploration in a playful and engaging way.

We reminded them that just as these ingredients work together to make something amazing — God is always working in small ways to create big wonders in our lives. ✨

🧸 Bethlehem Classroom Activity Highlight 💛

Today, our little ones learned about kindness through the story of The Good Samaritan. We talked about how the Samaritan showed love by helping someone who was hurt — and then practiced it ourselves!

The children gently “treated” their stuffed animals’ boo-boos using real bandages 🩹, wrapping their wounds just like the Samaritan did in the Bible story. A beautiful hands-on reminder that we are called to care for others with love and compassion.

🌱 Holy Saints Classroom Highlight 🌱

Today, our Holy Saints learned about growth and courage through “Jack and the Beanstalk” by Paul Galdone. 🌿✨

We connected it to David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17) — discovering that with faith, even the smallest can do big things! 🙏💪

Children created a beanstalk mural with leaves showing what helps them grow — prayer, family, and healthy food. 💚

This week’s letter was H, reminding us that He helps us grow every day! 🌤️
