On Monday the kindergarten class completed their service project! The students collected bottled drinks to donate to the fire department. They were very excited to give the drinks to the fire fighters. Thank you to everyone that donated! Also, thank you to the fire department for coming on Monday to discuss fire safety and give fire truck rides. The kids had a blast!

🐉 STAFF SPOTLIGHT: DYLANn BAKER 💜💛
Today we’re shining the spotlight on Dylann Baker, our Elementary Special Education Teacher! Dylann plays such an important role in helping our youngest Dragons learn, grow, and feel confident at school. Through patience, encouragement, and individualized support, she helps students discover their strengths and make progress both in and out of the classroom. 📚✨
Special education is all about seeing the potential in every student and finding the tools and support that help them succeed—and Dylann brings that mindset to her work each day!
We are so thankful for the compassion, dedication, and care Dylann pours into our students and our school community. Thank you for helping our Dragons Challenge, Grow, and Excel! 💜💛

Please bring the fifth grade donations of clean towels, blankets and newspapers. We will be delivering them on November 5th to Hearts United for Animals.
In preschool we have introduced syllable counting. Early literacy syllables activities help preschoolers build foundational phonological awareness by teaching them to break spoken words into manageable sound parts. In this activity, students had the opportunity to clap the word represented on their card and then determine how many claps for the word.
In preschool, we continue to explore early math activities. These math activities build a strong foundation for future academic success, critical thinking and problem solving skills. In this activity, students had the opportunity to count and identify numbers and then were asked to use blocks to create number towers, representing the number that was counted.
Tomorrow's the day! We hope to see you there.
