Preschool graduation and Moving On ceremony 2026.
I can't believe this is the last time my older group (missing one graduate) are going to all be together with me. I've had some for two years and the others for four and now they are moving up to the next level. 🥲 It's a bittersweet time for me, but they are going to do great next year ❤️

Field trip days are awesome! We had a blast checking out the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery. We got to make a class band and try out lots of instruments, watch bees doing what they do best, and even saw some snakes and other critters.

We had a great time at the Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance on Tuesday for a Learn at the Zoo day. We got to see all the animals (except the Gorillas which were hiding really well), pet a tiger pelt, build wooden homes out of tree cookies, and watched an elephant show while eating lunch. We even met some new friends 😀
