The theme of this month was “Under the Sea.” As we explored sea life, we also decorated our wall with multiple crafts: weaved sea turtles, sea sun catchers, and a kindness jellyfish. 🌊 @BrittanyCaspe17 @taylor_ancell @ISDKidsSafari @Mill_Creek_ISD #isdstrong

This morning’s Valentine’s Day challenge: create the biggest heart using only 1 sheet of paper, a pair of scissors, and a roll of tape. Check out what they surprised me with! 🤯@taylor_ancell @BrittanyCaspe17 @Mill_Creek_ISD @ISDKidsSafari #isdstrong So proud! 💛

This morning’s group may have been small but we’re starting our Finance for Young Learners club. Today we focused on what wants, choices, and economics are, as well as how we can save up money. 💰 @Mill_Creek_ISD @ISDKidsSafari @taylor_ancell @BrittanyCaspe17 #isdstrong

As we finish our dinosaur theme for the month, our KS friends raced to complete a scavenger hunt. After finding the clues around the school they were challenged to spell the word “Tyrannosaurus.” 🦖🤯 @Mill_Creek_ISD @ISDKidsSafari @taylor_ancell @BrittanyCaspe17 #isdstrong

@taylor_ancell @SpeedStacksInc @BrittanyCaspe17 @ISDKidsSafari @Mill_Creek_ISD Totally worth the mess!

[Se'Ina McLaughlin @s_d_mclaughlin]

How do we spend our last day, before Thanksgiving break, with only one student? Building with every single cup in our @SpeedStacksInc container! 🥵 @taylor_ancell @BrittanyCaspe17 @ISDKidsSafari @Mill_Creek_ISD #isdstrong

[Se'Ina McLaughlin @s_d_mclaughlin]

In case you’re wondering what happened to our masterpiece... Enjoy! 😂 @BrittanyCaspe17 @taylor_ancell @ISDKidsSafari @Mill_Creek_ISD #isdstrong

Last week, our KS friends created corn sun catchers and scarecrows for our pumpkin patch theme. 🌽 @taylor_ancell @BrittanyCaspe17 @ISDKidsSafari @Mill_Creek_ISD #isdstrong

[Se'Ina McLaughlin @s_d_mclaughlin]

This afternoon our KS friends created an acrostic using the word ”pumpkin.” On the back, they also drew their own pumpkin. 🎃@taylor_ancell @BrittanyCaspe17 @ISDKidsSafari @Mill_Creek_ISD #isdstrong

Yesterday our KS friends created constellation viewers. When you point it towards the light you can only see the “stars” of the constellation. @taylor_ancell @BrittanyCaspe17 @ISDKidsSafari @Mill_Creek_ISD #isdstrong

[Se'Ina McLaughlin @s_d_mclaughlin]

Our theme this week is the moon and the stars. This morning our KS friends created edible constellations using pretzels and marshmallows. ⭐️ @taylor_ancell @BrittanyCaspe17 @ISDKidsSafari @Mill_Creek_ISD #isdstrong

Another day, another way! Today’s way of practicing our spelling words is with paint and q-tips. @taylor_ancell @BrittanyCaspe17 @ISDKidsSafari @Mill_Creek_ISD #isdstrong

This morning, one of our students wanted to practice her speech for student council. Our wonderful KS friends were so excited to become her audience and show her she’s got this. @taylor_ancell @BrittanyCaspe17 @ISDKidsSafari @Mill_Creek_ISD #isdstrong

[Se'Ina McLaughlin @s_d_mclaughlin]

Another day, another way. Today our KS friends practiced their new spelling words with pinto beans! @taylor_ancell @BrittanyCaspe17 @ISDKidsSafari @Mill_Creek_ISD #isdstrong

[Se'Ina McLaughlin @s_d_mclaughlin]

Our KS friends practiced spelling their words with shaving cream today. This is just one way we prepare for our spelling tests. @taylor_ancell @BrittanyCaspe17 @ISDKidsSafari #isdstrong

[Se'Ina McLaughlin @s_d_mclaughlin]

Our KS friends “mustache” you if you think our play-doh creations need a touch-up. 😂 @BrittanyCaspe17 @taylor_ancell @ISDKidsSafari @Mill_Creek_ISD #isdstrong

[Se'Ina McLaughlin @s_d_mclaughlin]

Stand tall, laugh loudly, and be who you truly are!
Our KS friends showed this with their cup stacking skills and smiles today.
