🧸✨ Learning Through Play in Mrs. Baker’s Class! ✨🧸 One of the best parts of the day in Mrs. Baker’s Kindergarten class is getting time to learn through PLAY! 💜💛 To our kiddos, they’re simply playing, building, pretending, creating, exploring, and having fun—but they don’t even realize just how much they are learning along the way! 🧠✨ Through play, they’re practicing important skills like sharing, taking turns, communicating, problem-solving, using their imaginations, building friendships, and becoming more independent. That’s the magic of learning through play—the kids are having so much fun, they don’t even realize they’re building new skills! 🥰 Play isn’t a break from learning… play IS learning! ❤️ ✨ Together We Shine—Every Child, Every Day! ✨

📚✨ Books are going home! ✨📚 Our Kindergarten and T-1 students had the opportunity to visit the library and check out books to take home! There’s something so exciting about choosing a book of your very own to share with someone special. 💜💛 Reading with your child each night—even for just a few minutes—helps build vocabulary, strengthens early literacy skills, encourages imagination, and creates a lifelong love of reading. 📖❤️ So snuggle up, open a book, and enjoy that special time together! Every story you share is helping your little reader grow. 🌟 📚 Don’t forget! Please make sure your child’s library book is returned to school so they can continue checking out new books and bringing home new stories to enjoy! ❤️ Together We Shine—Every Child, Every Day! ✨

⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE ⚠️ Due to the current power outage, Home Alone will be CLOSED today. All students who normally attend Home Alone will need to be picked up from school. Please make arrangements for your child to be picked up. Thank you for your patience and understanding! 💜💛

⚠️ ECC POWER OUTAGE UPDATE ⚠️ The electricity is currently out at both ECC and Edisonl sites, which means our phones and other forms of communication are not working at this time. If you would feel more comfortable picking up your child, you may do so. Please be patient with our staff as we work through dismissal without our normal communication systems. We will share updates as soon as we are able. Thank you for your patience and understanding! 💜💛

Today was our first day back, and we are so happy to be getting back into the swing of things! Thank you to everyone for your patience, flexibility, and cooperation as we begin another wonderful school year. We would also like to send out a few friendly reminders: • If your kindergarten student will be eating breakfast, please let the staff member know as your child is getting out of the car. Please remind your child to place their backpack on their assigned number on the playground, go directly to the cafeteria for breakfast, and then return to the playground afterward. • During afternoon pickup, please leave the handicapped parking area on 10th Street open and available for families who need access to it. • Please remember to display your child’s car tag in the front windshield during pickup. This helps our line move more quickly and safely. • For the safety of all students, please remain in your vehicle during drop-off and pickup times. Our staff members will gladly assist children as they unload and load into vehicles. • If you need to buckle your child into a car seat, we ask that you pull forward and move to the side so traffic can continue flowing smoothly. • As a safety precaution, please do not approach staff members while they are directing traffic and moving the car rider line. Their attention must remain focused on the safety of all students. • Please do not take your child from the line until a staff member has dismissed them. • Walk-up students will be dismissed after the car rider line has been completed. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and make arrival and dismissal run as smoothly as possible. We appreciate your support and are looking forward to a wonderful year at Edison ECC! — Edison ECC Staff
