Essex Memorial Day Parade!

Thank you to all the families who came out on this soggy Saturday to support our program in the Memorial Day Parade.  Although a bit rainy, we all had a blast.  Thank you!

Letter Z Sound Circle

Friends put on a little show during recess.  Such little hams!

Our letter Z sound circle completes our work with the alphabet this school year.  This coming week, we will begin our work with letter blends.  First up...CH!

Sunshine Galore!

Grayson and Kellan are super excited to learn that they both have new Flash hats!

Poppy and Viola enjoy our indoor texture bins outside during recess.  Sometimes all you need is a change of scenery :)



The Village of Essex Junction Public Works come and flush the fire hydrant behind our school.  Now THAT was exciting!  Next time we'll be ready with our bathing suits!

STEM Work with Rain Gutters and PVC Pipes

Who knew that rain gutters and PVC pipes would make such awesome ball chutes and car ramps?!?!?!  There are so many ways to engineer these materials to complete various tasks.  What a great way to incorporate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) in our program!

Mud Kitchen!

We've had some new additions to our mud kitchen thanks to family donations.  We are loving the new utensils, pots/pans and of course...the MUD!

Playground Hopping Field Trip!

We had the best time visiting Pearl Street, Fort Ethan Allen and Bayside Parks on Friday.  The shrill little shrieks and happy faces of our kiddos meant the world to us!  What an awesome day!
