V is for Volcano! 🌋 Kindergarten had a blast learning about the letter V this week in Mrs. Baker’s class! The students got hands-on and creative by making their very own volcanoes—learning letters, science, and having explosive fun all at once! 💥✨

Mrs.Balenti’s class was having a snowy good time! The kids made their very own cloud snow and had a blast squishing, scooping, and playing together. Over in Mrs. Mattoxox’s class, the fun continued with shaving-cream snow — soft, fluffy, and full of giggles! Hands-on sensory play like this sparks creativity, builds fine motor skills, and makes learning feel like pure fun. Snow day magic… minus the cold! ☁️❄️✨

Meet Ollie the Octopus 🐙💙 Pre-K is diving into Letter O this week! The kids are having a tentacle-tastic time seeing just how long they can make Ollie’s octopus arms while practicing those O skills. We’re stretching, counting, creating, and learning—all while having so much fun! Stay tuned to see how big Ollie grows! 🌊✨

☃️ Snow way! Mrs. Jones’ class whipped up some classroom snow and had a blast getting into the winter spirit. These little learners are all prepped and excited for a snowy weekend! ❄️✨

🅝🅝🅝 Letter N fun! 🅝🅝🅝 Mrs. Plum’s class got creative by making necklaces to celebrate the letter N! Threading helped strengthen little fingers while turning learning into something fun and memorable. 💛

✨ From Monsters to Masterpieces! ✨ Last week, during letter M, Mrs. Mattox’s Pre-K class drew monsters 🧟‍♂️🎨 — and this week, those monsters came to LIFE! Our Pre-K students collaborated with the high school art class to transform their monster drawings into clay creations. Using clay, imagination, and teamwork, they turned their ideas into something truly special. 🖐️✨ We love seeing creativity grow and partnerships across grade levels—such a meaningful and memorable experience for everyone involved! 💚

Friendly reminder for our Pre-K students to wear NEON colors as we celebrate Letter N with a fun Neon Day! Let’s make it bright and fun! ✨

✨ Pre-K Learning Fun This Week at ECC! Our Pre-K friends have been busy learning all about the letter N! 👉 Mrs. Mattox’s class got creative by making noodle necklaces while practicing fine motor skills and exploring things that start with N. 🍝💛 👉 Mrs. Mattox and Mrs. Watts’ class put their noses to work during a fun sensory activity! They smelled different scents, worked to match them up, and enjoyed exploring neon noodles for hands-on sensory play. 👃🌈 We love learning through play and engaging all our senses in Pre-K!

📚✨ Second graders stepping up in a BIG way! ✨📚 We love seeing our students grow in confidence and leadership!

We are so proud of our second graders for being such wonderful role models! 🌟📖

❄️☃️ ECC has SNOW much fun! ☃️❄️ Our kindergarten and T-1 team s are trying really hard to bring on the snow! Mrs. Balenti’s class turned into little scientists as they created a blizzard in a jar, watching the “snowstorm” swirl right before their eyes. 🌨️🔬 Meanwhile, Mrs. Baker’s friends were busy building snowmen, playing in the snow, and crafting beautiful snowflakes—all without the cold fingers! ❄️🎨 Winter fun, hands-on learning, and lots of smiles filled our day! 💙✨

🎩 Mustache you a question… what letter are we learning?! It’s M of course! Our pre-K friends jumped right back into learning after winter break and rocked some mighty fine mustaches while mastering the letter M. Way to start the new year strong! 💪
