Mrs. Shironaka’s class celebrated Pancake Day in the most delicious way — by cooking and enjoying pancakes together! 🥞
They put their math skills to work measuring ingredients, used their reading skills to follow the recipe, and practiced social skills by working as a team to prepare our lunch.
The fun didn’t stop there! They also sharpened their coloring and cutting skills as they designed frying pans and pancakes for their very own Pancake Race. The race followed the tradition of the famous International Pancake Race held each year in Liberal and Olney on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday — also known as Fat Tuesday.
What a fun (and tasty!) way to learn together! 🥞✨
Happy Valentine's Day!
All Valentines for ECC students should be delivered to the Kindergarten Literacy Lab between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Thank you for your help!
R is for… REINDEER! 🦌
Today our ECC Pre-K students took learning to the next level as we explored the letter R with a very special visitor—Rose the Reindeer from the Reindeer Club!
At ECC, learning doesn’t just happen inside the classroom. We are proud to offer our students unique, hands-on experiences that make learning meaningful, memorable, and FUN. From special visitors to real-life connections, our kids are given opportunities that spark curiosity and excitement every single day.
So if your child came home saying they saw a reindeer on the playground today… it’s absolutely true! 😄
A huge thank you to Nick Ledbetter with the Reindeer Club for sharing Rose with our students and helping make this day one they’ll never forget. Experiences like this are what make ECC such an amazing place to learn and grow! 💛

These meaningful, cross-curricular collaborations encourage creativity, communication, and connections across grade levels.

Groundhog Day is this coming Monday, and today Mrs. Mattox and Mrs. Watts’s classes got a head start by creating adorable little groundhogs and making predictions about whether Punxsutawney Phil will see his shadow or not.

🍕 P is for Pizza! 🍕
This week in Pre-K, we’ve been learning all about the letter P, and Mrs. Plum’s class had a perfectly delicious way to practice! The students made their very own personal pizzas, working on letter recognition, fine motor skills, and following directions—all while having tons of fun. Learning is always better when it’s hands-on (and tasty)! 😄👏
