Love That Glows From the Heart For this Valentine’s Day art project, the children explored color, shape, and creativity using fluorescent paint, heart-shaped cutouts, and heart-shaped cutters. Each child began with a bold heart cutout placed on black paper, then used heart-shaped cutters dipped in bright, glowing paint to stamp and decorate around their heart. This process-focused activity encouraged fine motor development, hand–eye coordination, and creative expression, while allowing each child’s unique style to shine. The contrast of neon paint against the dark background makes every piece pop—just like the love and individuality behind each one. No two hearts are the same, and that’s what makes them special. These glowing masterpieces remind us that love comes in many colors and every child brings their own light to our classroom.

Lunch Bunch traveled to Antarctica today! We learned all about the amazing animals that live there—whales, seals, and penguins. To top it off, we got creative and made our very own Antarctica, complete with icy glaciers! 🌊🧊

Music and Movement Enrichment – Session 2, Week 6 Boom, tap, tap! This week we had a blast learning all about drums and exploring soft and hard sounds.

This week's literacy enrichment class dove into Tom Parr’s “The Bedtime Book” followed by the kids coloring and taking home their own bedtime page.

Week 7 of session two is done! We learned the Spanish word “Morado,” meaning “purple”💜. Students got creative with purple-themed paintings of grapes, eggplants, wizards' hats, and flowers for their color books - a special keepsake from their learning journey. We also recapped numbers 1-10, greetings, and colors from weeks 1-6. Don't forget “gracias” - thank you! See you all next week.

Today, we embarked on a creative journey to recreate the renowned pop art of artist Andy Warhol. Our first step involved crafting the background by stamping fluorescent green paint onto black cardstock using cardboard as our paintbrush. Next, we prepared our flowers by selecting vibrant fluorescent colors from the children’s choices and using a gift card to scrape the paint across the petals. All the components are currently drying on the drying rack in our classroom. Next week, we will cut out the flowers and glue them onto our backdrop to complete our painting.

Spanish Enrichment- our fifth week of session two, we delved into the Spanish word “Amarillo,” which translates to “yellow” 💛.

Spreading love and kindness with every smile - T/TH classes had chapel today. ❄️1.15.26❄️

This week, we delved into the world of mono printing, a simple yet impactful process-based art activity that offers significant developmental benefits. As children engage in painting, drawing into wet paint with Q-tips, and pressing the paper to reveal their prints, they enhance their fine motor skills, finger isolation, hand-eye coordination, and pressure control. These skills are crucial for pre-writing development. Beyond these physical benefits, this open-ended experience fosters lines, sensory exploration, visual planning, creativity, and confidence. Each print is unique, emphasizing the importance of the process rather than the final product.

Monday ❄️1.12.16❄️

In our third week of session two, we explored the Spanish word: “azul,” meaning “blue.” 💙Students created blue-themed portraits for their color books, which they’ll take home at the end of the session. We also reviewed numbers 1-10 and the colors from week 1 and 2. Adios!
