Fall sensory play this week!

Sensory bins are crucial for child development because they stimulate multiple senses, enhance fine motor skills, support cognitive growth, and promote emotional and social development.

Sensory bins provide children with a hands-on way to explore textures, shapes, colors, and sounds, helping them become comfortable with different sensory experiences and develop sensory confidence.

This type of play allows children to engage their senses simultaneously, which is essential for building neural connections and understanding the world around them.

Mrs. James's KPA class had some special visitors this morning!

Ms. Schram's class incubated and hatched eggs, and has been taking care of the chicks the last few weeks. They made a stop in KPA on their way out to their new home today.

Shoutout to Peyton and Addie for helping out!

It's Teacher Appreciation Week! 🎉

We can't wait to celebrate all week with our community. Our school-wide theme this year has focused on Incarnate Word Academy's 90th anniversary, so what a better way to celebrate than to take our teachers "BACK TO THE 90'S" with some fun AI generated photos. Big hair, colorful clothes, and many other trends that we hope never to return. 🤣

Today, we spotlight our primary teachers and aides, who help shape the hearts and minds of our youngest Warriors!

🎉 From bright colors to fun throwback styles, our Kinder Prep students brought the 90s to life today!

The Spirit Week excitement continued in our Innovation Center today, where even in their 90s gear, our youngest learners were busy exploring, creating, and discovering. It’s always inspiring to see creativity and curiosity come together—no matter the decade! 💡✨
