Today was Work Together Wednesday! Teamwork requires children to cooperate with each other, and children who learn these skills are also on their way to establishing solid skills in problem-solving, communication, listening, creativity, and self-esteem. We are ALWAYS working together in our classrooms!
We continue to celebrate our youngest learners on Work Together Wednesday today! Our students are taught and guided DAILY by teachers and staff on how to problem solve, communicate, listen, and socialize appropriately through the lessons and activities you implement each day!
Today we celebrated Tasty Tuesday! We highlighted healthy eating at home and school! This fun, food-themed day is about more than just cheese and crackers! With the rise in childhood obesity, we encourage healthy nutrition and fitness habits at home and in the classroom! Thank you to Food Services who provided a wide-variety of fruits and vegetables for ALL of our learners to taste today!
Musical Monday fun with our instruments! Music ignites all areas of child development and skills for school readiness, including intellectual, social-emotional, motor, language, and overall literacy. It helps the body and the mind work together!
Today we celebrated Musical Monday! Through music, children develop math, language, and literacy skills - all while having fun and being active! All of our learners enjoyed the Lion King Show presented by our LMS Drama Club today!Thank you, Superintendent Dr. Pedersen, Mrs. Gallopini and Mrs. Rogan for helping organize this event for us.

Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year, is the most important celebration observed in China, with cultural and historic significance. This year the celebration began on February 1st! The festival signals the beginning of spring, and the start of a new year according to the Chinese lunar calendar. The New Year celebration is centered around removing the bad and the old and welcoming the new and the good! Each Lunar year is represented by a cycle of 12 zodiac animals - this year is the Year of the Tiger🐅, the first since 2010. People visit friends and family they give each other oranges for good luck. There are lots of red decorations for lunar new year because in China red is the color of happiness. Our learners learned about the Legend of Nian, decorations, the Lantern Festival, the Dragon & Lion Dance, the meaning of the color red, and all about traditional foods!
