🎒✨ FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL! ✨🎒
What a wonderful first day it was! 💕 Our very first preschool student had an absolute blast spending the day with our amazing staff. From smiles and laughter to new adventures and lots of fun, she settled right in and made herself right at home! 🥰
In fact, she had such a good time that she forgot to miss her Momma! 😂❤️ We’d say that’s a pretty great first day!
Our third grade class is using the classroom store as a fun, hands-on math activity. Students are learning and practicing addition, subtraction, counting money, and other important math concepts while making purchases and interacting with the store.
