Our preschool students explored composting, learned about habitats, and designed new homes for their earthworms! Throughout these activities, they were also practicing how to observe closely, think critically, and care for living things—skills that lay the foundation for understanding systems, solving problems, and considering the impact of their choices. In small, hands-on moments like these, students begin to see themselves as contributors to something bigger—starting right in the soil beneath their feet. (fb)

Our 1st graders have been exploring the roles of community helpers through stories and conversations. This week, a parent dentist and our school security guard shared what they do—and why it matters. Listening, observing, and appreciating—early steps toward understanding how the world works and finding our place within it. (fb)
