Today our kindergarten and T1 classes had the most wonderful field trip to the Jasmine Moran Children’s Museum — and it truly could not have been a more perfect day! The weather was absolutely beautiful, with sunshine and just the right temperature for exploring. We were able to enjoy time both outside and inside, which made the day even more special. The hands-on learning opportunities were endless — from imaginative role play to interactive exhibits that sparked creativity and critical thinking. It was learning in its most joyful form. Another highlight was getting to spend quality time with our kindergarten and T1 families. Field trips like this remind us how special it is to partner together in our children’s learning. Watching families explore alongside their kids, sharing laughs and discoveries, made the day even more meaningful. Thank you parents and family members for coming with us today💛

✨ Teaching + Teamwork + The Letter T = Total Success! ✨ Mrs. Grooms’ Leadership class with FCCLA had an assessment to create toys that teach — and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect! Our Pre-K students in Mrs. Mattox’s class are learning all about the letter T, so Mrs. Grooms partnered with them for some hands-on, interactive fun! Her students designed 5 different learning games that focused on teaching skills in creative, engaging ways. Our little learners rotated through each game, practicing different learning skills while building confidence, communication, and teamwork. 🎲🧩 There is something so special about older students creating meaningful learning experiences for our youngest ECC Pirates. The smiles, encouragement, and excitement in the room said it all! Way to go, FCCLA and Pre-K! 💛 Learning is always better together!

☕✨ T is for TEA PARTY! ✨☕ You just can’t get any better than this! Our teachers are creating the sweetest, most memorable moments for our students. 💛 Mrs. Watts’ class wrapped up Letter T week in the most terrific way — with a Tea Party for T! 🎉 Students came dressed in their fanciest attire, ready for an afternoon full of tiny cups, big smiles, and lots of giggles. There’s something so special about watching our little learners practice manners, friendship, and fun — all while celebrating a letter of the alphabet. These are the moments they’ll remember. 🫖💐 We are so proud of the joy happening inside our classrooms every single day! #ECCPirates #LetterT #TeaPartyFun #MakingMemories

🧸🚗 Pre-K Takes on Route 66! 🚗🧸 Mrs. Mattox’s and Mrs. Watts’ classes took a short walk down the road to visit the Bristow Route 66 Toy Museum — a hidden treasure right here in our community! Owned by Brett Fadley and Lynette Fadley, the museum features nearly 1,000 toys on display, some dating back to the 1930s. The Fadleys have been collecting for over 45 years! Mr. Fadley even shared his favorite childhood toy — a stuffed dog named Oscar he received as a Christmas gift around 1965. ❤️ Our students searched for the smallest toy, biggest toy, and oldest toy as part of our Letter T learning. What a fun way to explore history right in our own backyard! #ECCPirates #LetterT #Route66Learning #CommunityConnections

🦕 Dino-Mite Learning in Kindergarten! 🦖 In Miss Baker’s kindergarten class, students are learning all about dinosaurs through hands-on, engaging centers! From digging for fossils, to building dinosaur habitats, to reading dino stories and sorting by size, our young paleontologists are exploring, creating, and discovering at every station. These centers help build teamwork, problem-solving skills, reading readiness, math thinking, and creativity — all while having ROAR-ing fun! Kindergarten is dino-mite at ECC! 🦴✨

🦖 Paleontologist for a Day! 🦴 Today in Mrs. Balenti's, they became junior paleontologists! Our little explorers carefully “dug” out dinosaur “bones” — also known as chocolate chips — from their excavation sites (aka cookies! 🍪). They talked about how real paleontologists have to dig slowly and carefully so they don’t break the fossils. Our students practiced patience, fine motor skills, and self-control while excavating their tasty treasures! Learning + hands-on fun + chocolate = a ROAR-ing good day in ECC🦕✨

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!! Kindergarten/T1 Jasmine Moran Children’s Museum Field Trip Please read the attached note for more details.

🚛✨ T is for TRASH TRUCK! ✨🚛 This week in Pre-K, they are learning all about the letter T, and today they had a very special visitor… a real TRASH TRUCK! Our students were so excited to see the big truck up close and learn how it works. They talked about trash, trucks, and the important people who help keep our community clean. This hands-on experience made learning the letter T extra fun and memorable! There were lots of wide eyes, big smiles, and excited waves as the truck showed us its awesome features. What a terrific way to learn about the letter T! Thank you to our local trash service for taking the time to visit our little learners! ♻️💚 #LetterT #PreKFun #LearningInAction #ECCPride

🏃‍♀️💚 This Week in PE at ECC! 💚🏃‍♂️ Our kindergarten students have been working hard on TEAMWORK — and they put their skills to the test with a fun game called “Cross the River!” 🌊 Using “lily pads,” students had to work together to safely cross the river without falling in! 🐸 The catch? They had to communicate, cooperate, and problem-solve as a team to make it to the other side. We saw: ✨ Encouragement ✨ Leadership ✨ Listening skills ✨ Strategic thinking ✨ Lots of smiles and laughter! We love watching our little learners build strong bodies AND strong teamwork skills. Way to go, Kindergarten! 👏💚
