One of our parents slipped me this note on the first day of summer session. It’s been posted to my office computer ever since, as this has been our summer goal. These teachers and many others have worked so hard over the past weeks to keep our kids healthy and to provide them with daily opportunities to laugh, learn, and grow. We’re so thankful for our amazing team who can sing silly songs, laugh, and dance with their children during a pandemic!❤️

Juneteenth For Mazie

We’re celebrating Juneteenth today, an important day in our nation’s history! On this day in 1865, our country took its very first step towards racial equality. We’ve taken many steps since then, and have many more to go. Let’s raise our children to be eager for progress and prepared to continue this important work.❤️

Mrs. Lisa and Mrs. Emma’s class is taking donations for the Charleston Animal Society! Their class is learning all about kindness, giving, and taking care of animals! Please consider donating for the cause 😊 This is their fifth year doing it, and the kids are so excited about it! Donations are accepted until tomorrow 🐶🐱

Thankful Thursday (on a Friday): We are so happy to have Mrs. Heather as part of The Island School team! She joined us this year and has already established such strong bonds with students, families, and staff. She has a fun approach to teaching her Twos, she educates the teachers as our Professional Development Instructor, and she keeps us laughing every day! We are so thankful for you, Mrs. Heather! 💕

We’re wrapping up a super busy Spirit Week! Today, our students used their class food donations for Our Lady of Mercy to build innovative structures. They’re practicing generosity and creativity.❤️

Thankful Thursday: we are so thankful to have Ms. Emily as part of the Island School Family! She emulates kindness, patience, and dedication to her craft and kiddos. Stepping into her Fours room is like being transformed into a magical and interactive world for children to learn. Seriously—her students are always so engaged in her lessons, one might think that they don’t even realize that they’re learning! Thank you, Ms. Emily, for being such a role model to these children and for playing such an integral role in their development 🤗💕

Can you guess which books these characters are from? The Island School had so much fun with yesterday’s Dress-Like-Your-Favorite-Book-Character theme! 📚

Thankful Thursday: We are so very thankful for Ms. Heaven! She’s a Twos teacher in the mornings and she takes over for the Fours in the afternoon. For the past few years, she’s happily moved between all of the age groups and has managed to develop such strong bonds with these kiddos. One in particular, who doesn’t attend the Island School anymore, always asks to see her when he comes to pick up his little brother 🥰 Thank you for leaving an impact on these kids, thank you for working long days, and thank you for always smiling through it all! The Island School ❤️s you! 💕

Gillette need not worry about a dip in product purchasing for “No Shave November.” Ms. Emily and Mrs. Tracy’s class had a blast practicing shapes with shaving cream today! We have a feeling they will request this activity again 😉☁️

Thankful Thursday: thank you for all that you do, Mrs. Kat! Katherine is one of our threes teachers who works hard to plan engaging units for her class. She always ensures that no small detail is overlooked! She’s looped with her group for two years and has established such a safe, peaceful, and close-knit community within her classroom. They love Mrs.Kat, and we do, too! 🤗💕

Our Thankful Thursday post is on a Friday this week (Halloween kept us busy!), but we are thankful for Ms. Stephanie every day! Have you seen her interact with her toddlers? She’s always engaged with what they’re doing in a patient and gentle way. She is the perfect blend of hard working and laid back, and she constantly incorporates music into her curriculum 🎶 How can you not have fun in a class like that?! We love you, Ms. Stephanie! Thank you for all that you do 💕

Happy Halloween from The Island School! 🎃👻
