🧠✨ In our Right Brain Classroom, learning is led by curiosity and choice!
By selecting their own activities, our students aren't just having fun—they're actively building focus, decision-making, and other vital executive functioning skills. 🌟
When children have the power to choose, they engage more deeply, think more creatively, and develop confidence in their learning journey. 💡

✂️🧠 Snipping, Cutting, and Creating! 🧠✂️
Our students have been busy in the Left Brain Classroom learning how to use scissors safely and effectively — building fine motor skills, focus, and hand-eye coordination! 👏
Now that they’ve mastered the basics, they’re taking those new skills into the Right Brain Classroom, where they get to cut with creativity! From shapes to crafts, they’re using their cutting practice to bring their ideas to life. 🎨💡

Our students had a blast with a special project all about self-expression and creativity! Each child chose a cutout and then designed their very own version of themselves — complete with hand-made clothes, shoes, and even hair bows! 👗👟🎀
In our Left Brain Classroom, our students explore paint and paintbrush techniques as part of learning proper art tool usage. 🖌️✨
By focusing on control, coordination, and technique, our little artists are building the foundation they'll soon use to let their creativity shine in the Right Brain Classroom! 🎨💡

🧠✨ Focused Minds in Our Left Brain Classrooms! 📚🔍
In our Left Brain classrooms, our little learners are hard at work during work cycle time—choosing their own activities, staying focused, and working independently. 💪📝
From puzzles and number work to language games and fine motor tasks, each child is fully engaged in activities that build concentration, logic, and problem-solving skills. 🙌

Our classrooms are full of energy as our kiddos explore through the different stations—building, imagining, exploring, and most importantly... playing together! 💬🧩🖌️
In our Right Brain classrooms, we focus on fueling creativity, big feelings, and connection. Whether they are making art or building tall towers, the kids are learning in the most natural way—through play!
🐣➡️🏅 From Classroom to County Fair! 🐓🎉
Last year, our students watched in wonder as Mrs. Heath and Mrs. Carter incubated and hatched baby chicks right here in our school.
This year, two of those very chicks—now all grown up—went to the Faulkner County Fair with Mrs. Heath’s daughter… and placed! 🏆🎡
🥇 Our proud black rooster won 1st place, and
🥉 Our other feathered friend brought home 3rd place!
What a fun and exciting way to see the results of hands-on learning come to life! We are so proud of our extended preschool family (feathers and all). 🐥❤️

🎗️💛 Wall of Hope – Honoring Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 💛🎗️
We believe even the smallest hands can make a big difference.
Our students and staff created a Wall of Hope to show love and support for children and families affected by childhood cancer. 💫
Each child had the opportunity to write or draw encouraging words and uplifting pictures on gold stars and hearts. These heartfelt messages are displayed in our front lobby, creating a beautiful, golden reminder of kindness, strength, and hope.

🌟 Morning Circle Time Magic! 🌟
Each day, we come together as a School Family to build connection, community, and care.
❤️ During our Wish Well time, students send love and kind thoughts to friends who may be absent or needing a little extra support.
⭐️ We say the Pledge of Allegiance, learning about unity and respect.
🎶 And through singing together, we strengthen bonds, practice self-regulation, and set a joyful tone for the day ahead.
These meaningful moments nurture the Emotional and Social Brain, laying the foundation for empathy, cooperation, and lifelong learning.

🧠 Left Brain in Action at Sallie Cone!
Our little learners have been busy building their focus, precision, and problem-solving skills!
🔍 Using control to check their work
🥣 Carefully practicing pouring with steady hands and concentration
🔺🔵 Sorting shapes by color, size, and type—boosting logic and categorization!
Each of these activities strengthens the Left Brain by encouraging critical thinking, self-correction, and spatial awareness. We love watching our students grow their brains through purposeful play!

Sensory Fun in the Making!
Yesterday during our PLC time, our amazing Right Brain paraprofessionals took some time to dye rice for our sensory stations! 🎨✨
These colorful rice bins are more than just fun—they help our little learners explore textures, colors, and creativity while building fine motor skills and supporting self-regulation.
We’re so excited to see our students dive into this vibrant sensory experience!

🎨 Art + Executive Functioning = Creative Growth! 🧠✨
Our little artists have been diving into the beautiful world of watercolor painting in Art Appreciation! 🖌️💧
But it’s not just about making beautiful art — they’re also practicing important executive functioning skills, like:
🟡 Mixing colors carefully (no wasting paint!)
🔵 Blending colors with intention
🟢 Taking care of their art tools responsibly
It’s amazing to see their creativity grow right alongside their self-control, planning, and problem-solving skills.
Big ideas are taking shape in our Think It, Build It classroom! 🧠🔧 From sorting in sensory bins to building new creations (and friendships!), our little learners are exploring, imagining, and growing together every day. 💡💛 #PreschoolFun #HandsOnLearning #ThinkItBuildIt #GrowingTogether
💛✨ REMINDER: Go Gold Day is TOMORROW! ✨💛
Join us in showing support for Childhood Cancer Awareness by going ALL OUT in yellow or gold tomorrow! 🎗️💛
Let’s fill our school with love, hope, and golden spirit as we stand with the brave children and families affected by childhood cancer. Every sparkle of gold makes a difference! 🌟
