🗺️ Mapping Out Success at CRES! 🧭

Our first graders have been busy navigating new skills! After reading the story "On the Map" and discussing key text features and what makes up a neighborhood, students took on the role of cartographers to create their very own neighborhood maps. 🏠🌳

They practiced key social studies and reading skills by:

Labeling key landmarks: Marking homes, parks, roads, and favorite community spots.

Adding cardinal directions: Including a compass rose (North, South, East, West) to help guide the way.

Building communication skills: Presenting their colorful creations and sharing unique neighborhood details with their classmates.

We are so proud of these creative, hardworking learners! Check out some of their incredible artwork and map-making skills below. 🎨👏

🍿 Pop, Pop, Hooray for the 5 Senses! 🍿

Our bright little Kindergarten dolphins at CRES had an absolute blast today using everyone's favorite snack—POPCORN—to explore their five senses! 🐬✨

Here is how our tiny scientists put their senses to work:

👂 Hearing: Listening to the loud pop-pop-pop from the popper!

👀 Sight: Watching the kernels transform into fluffy, white snacks.

👃 Smell: Sniffing that amazing, buttery aroma filling the room.

✋ Touch: Feeling the bumpy, warm, and crunchy texture.

👅 Taste: The absolute best part—munching on a delicious treat!

Learning is so much fun when you get to eat your experiment! Great job, little dolphins! 💙🌊

🍎 Learning and Growing in PreK! 🍎

Mrs. McClellan's PreK class at CRES has been working hard learning all our new school routines! From walking in a straight line to sitting nicely in the cafeteria and working together in small groups, these little learners are already doing an amazing job. Making friends has been a breeze, and playground time is definitely a fan favorite! 🛝✨

To wrap up our All About Me unit, the students got hands-on (and had a lot of laughs!) taking turns labeling Mrs. McClellan's body parts. 🏷️ human anatomy has never been so fun! We are so proud of how well they are adjusting and can't wait for a wonderful year ahead! 💙📚
