🚲🎶 “I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike!” is what you’ll hear as our little ones cruise around the playground! 💙 Riding tricycles is more than just fun! Our children are building important skills while enjoying time outdoors with their friends. 🌞 Skills we are developing: - 🚴 Gross Motor Skills: Strengthening leg muscles and building coordination. - 🧠 Problem-Solving: Learning how to steer, navigate, and move around obstacles. - 👀 Spatial Awareness: Understanding personal space and watching where they are going. - ⏳ Self-Regulation: Practicing patience, taking turns, and following playground rules. - 🤝 Social Skills: Sharing space, playing alongside friends, and encouraging one another. - 💪 Confidence: Building independence as they practice new movements. At Sallie Cone Preschool, we know that some of the best learning happens through play! 💙🐾 #SallieConePreschool #LearningThroughPlay #GrowingAndLearning

💙 Happy National School Psychology Week! 💙

This week, we take time to recognize and celebrate our exceptional CPSD school psychologists and the essential support they provide to students, families, and staff every day.

School psychologists play a crucial role in creating positive, supportive learning environments where every child can grow. From championing student mental health and resilience to partnering with teachers and families to overcome learning barriers, their expertise ensures that our students have the tools and support they need to succeed both in school and in life. 🌟

Please join us in thanking our school psychologists for their tireless dedication, guidance, and heart for our school community!

💨🧣 Zoom & Vroom in the Left Brain Room! 🏎️🏗️ Our little learners are having fun exploring how things move! In the wind tunnel, children are watching scarves move through the air and discovering what happens when the wind blows. 🌪️ In the construction area, they are building ramps and tunnels, testing their ideas, and seeing how things travel! These fun, hands-on activities help children build problem-solving skills, creativity, and early science and math skills. They are learning to make predictions, try new ideas, work through challenges, and discover what works! 🧠 So much learning happens when little hands get busy and curious minds get to explore! 💙🐾

🎃🍂 Our little learners are exploring fall through hands-on pumpkin discovery! As the children observed, touched, and cleaned out a pumpkin, they used their senses to investigate and describe what they noticed. Some described the outside as “bumpy” and the inside as “slimy” and “gooey!” While some children enjoyed the textures, others discovered that they weren’t quite for them—and that’s okay! 🧡 Through this experience, children practiced scientific observation, descriptive language, sensory exploration, and fine motor skills, all while building curiosity and confidence as they explore the world around them. 🍁🎃

When staff members were asked why this person deserves this recognition, one thing came through loud and clear—this person brings joy to the people around them. Coworkers shared that this staff member is always smiling and brings sunshine to even the roughest days. They also talked about the amazing job this person does with our students.

This person was also described as a GREAT co-teacher—someone you can count on, someone who supports the people they work with, and someone who will always have your back. This staff member represents so much of what Team Sallie Cone is all about: positive, supportive, dependable, and always focused on doing what is best for our Littlest Cats.
