🌟🍎 FAMILY TREE STUDENTS OF THE WEEK 🍎🌟

This week we are celebrating not just one shining star… but a whole group of AMAZING learners who have been showing kindness, teamwork, creativity, and big smiles every single day! 💚🌳

From helping friends and using listening ears 👂✨ to working hard during activities and spreading positivity all around the classroom, these students have truly made our Family Tree community proud! 🌈📚🖍️

Keep reaching for the stars, little learners — your teachers see all of your hard work and caring hearts! ⭐💫 We are so proud of each and every one of you!

👏 Congratulations to our Students of the Week! 👏

Chick chick hooray our baby chicks arrived today! My friends were so excited to learn all about chicks as Miss Skylar red several books to them. They also got to see what real bird eggs look like. We saw a red-tailed hawk egg and ostrich egg and so many more. They also got to pet Henrietta the red hen! 🐔🪺

WA location- Thank you so much to the Marshall family and Zincone Family for the food platters for the staff! 😋 and The Mcinerney family for the donuts! 🍩 We appreciate all of you and to the Beck family the daily gifts and cards of affirmations were greatly appreciate and we thank you all the gifts daily were detailed to each staff member it was so thoughtful of you! ❤️

A huge thank you to the amazing “Real Moms of ELC” for showing our staff so much love and appreciation during Teacher Appreciation Week! Your kindness, generosity, and support mean the world to our team. The thoughtful gestures and encouragement remind our teachers just how valued they are each and every day. We are so grateful to have such an incredible community standing behind our ELC family! 💕🍎✨

Pre-K 2 turned snack time into a fiesta today with our Chips & Dips Taste Test! 🌮🥑🧀 From white queso and orange queso to guacamole and salsa, our little food critics sampled it all and weren’t shy about sharing their expert opinions! 😂 The children practiced trying new foods, using descriptive words, and voting on their favorites while having tons of fun. Safe to say… the chips disappeared faster than we could say “pass the queso!” 💃🎉

A huge thank you to Erica and Christine for the incredible support you show our teaching staff, not just during Teacher Appreciation Week, but all year long. Treating all three locations to a taco lunch was such a thoughtful and generous gesture, and it truly meant so much to everyone.

You both are simply amazing, always so considerate and always going above and beyond to make sure your staff feels valued, supported, and appreciated. It does not go unnoticed, and it is a big part of what makes our community so special. We are so grateful to have leaders like you guiding and uplifting us every day.

Pre-K 1 demonstrated strong problem-solving skills today when everyone wanted to help water the flowers. They used their resources by finding tools in the sandbox to scoop water from a bucket. When some of the tools had holes and didn’t work well, they adjusted by selecting and using different items without holes to successfully complete the task.

Cinco de Mayo at WA, we’re coming with pride 🎉
Celebrating culture and joy right by our side 🇲🇽
With tacos, tamales, and flavors so bold 🌮
Every bite tells a story, rich and old 🌶️
Music, laughter, and friends all around 💃
Good food, good vibes.. it's best celebration in town! 🌟

🌟 Student of the Week 🌟

This week we are celebrating very special students who brings so much joy into our classroom each and every day! From their bright smile to their kind heart, they make our days a little sweeter.

Whether they are helping a friend, trying their best during activities, or jumping in with excitement during playtime, they truly shine in everything they do. We are so proud of the growth, kindness, and positivity they show every day.

Keep being amazing, superstar… the sky is the limit for you ✨💛

Our PreK 2 crew took learning outside and turned it into pure sunshine fun. Little feet running, big imaginations soaring, and plenty of laughter filling the air. Whether they were exploring, playing games, or just soaking up the fresh air, these kiddos made the most of every moment outside.
