We’re celebrating our Earth and learning to reuse instead of throwing things away. Today we reused our trash to print patterns and explore 3D shapes. We created robots, rocket ships, owls, and more! #experienceSLE #earlychildhoodGCISD

A big thank you to Officer Patrick O’Neill for stopping by Pre-K recess today! The kids loved it so much! #experienceSLE

We are reading some amazing books in Pre-K!

Did you know? When Marley Dias was in the 6th grade in 2015, she founded #1000BlackGirlBooks to collect books where Black girls are the main characters and donate those books to schools. #experienceSLE #BlackHistoryMonth

We read a biography of Ruby Bridges and Pre-K kids discussed how she was so brave when she was just a kid! #experienceSLE #BlackHistoryMonth

Today Pre-K read about Mae Jemison, the first African-American woman to travel to space. Here we are discussing with a partner what we noticed about her in the photos where she became an astronaut! 🚀🌌#ReadYourWorld #ExperienceSLE

We are exploring space in Pre-K! Writing about our planet creations and going on a Cosmic Yoga spaceship adventure are just a couple of the experiences that have brought us joy this week. 🛸🌕🌎🪐🚀 #ExperienceSLE

Happy Pajama Read-a-Rama! We’ve loved sharing books read aloud to us today in Pre-K, especially from guest readers @WhitesideNicole @RRainGCISD

It’s so cool to see how Pre-K coders can sequence their own codes and solve problems in their codes as they arise. Thank you @beck0314 for our favorite activity: Santa Mouse! #hocgcisd #ExperienceSLE

It’s “Gingerbread” theme in Pre-K! Decorating cookies to build up our vocabulary, fine motor skills, and most of all... FUN! #experienceSLE #earlychildhoodGCISD

Pre-K interviewed a guest writer today as we learned about literary arts. We got to see his script for the TV show “Trolls!” He told us, “I love to write because when I create stories, they can take me anywhere I want to go!” #experienceSLE #ExperienceTheArtsSLE

Today PreK experienced dance and music. We practiced patterns through ribbon dancing and spoke to a guest musician who played instruments and sang for us. He told us, “I love to make music because it is FUN!” #experienceSLE #ExperienceTheArtsSLE

[Emma Ackels @AckelsEmma]

Today a guest artist told PreK, “When I make art, I feel happy.” Our class agrees: creating art makes us feel good! @by_makko #experienceSLE #ExperienceTheArtsSLE

My PreK students are painting self portraits with their knowledge of shapes and sculpting pumpkins to develop fine motor skills. We love our experience of the visual arts! #experienceSLE #ExperienceTheArtsSLE

[Emma Ackels @AckelsEmma]

Children make celebrating pumpkin week the most fun! #experienceSLE #earlychildhoodGCISD
