As May comes to a close this weekend, we’re getting ready to welcome the month of June! This past month seemed to fly by, and it’s hard to believe how quickly the school year has gone. Over the last few weeks, we wrapped up our Community Theme by focusing on construction. The children had so much fun learning about builders, construction tools, and how structures are created in our communities. We were also thrilled to see our Glow Art projects and Artist Project displayed at the Art Show. The students were so proud of their hard work, and it was wonderful to see their creativity shine. As we move into June, we are excited to begin our final theme of the school year: Summer Fun! We look forward to exploring all the exciting things that make summer such a special season. It’s amazing to think that we have reached the final stretch of the school year, with only four weeks remaining. Throughout the year, we have continued to build independence, confidence, and important life skills. We are so proud of how much the children have grown, learned, and supported one another. We’re looking forward to making the most of our final weeks together and creating many more wonderful memories!

April has come to an end, and we are excited to welcome the month of May! This past month has been full of fun, learning, and special moments in our classroom. We continued exploring our Community Theme, and this week we focused on bakeries. The children loved learning about what happens in a bakery and engaging in hands-on activities that brought the theme to life. We also had a wonderful time celebrating the Week of the Young Child, with each day bringing something new and exciting. A class favorite was Tasty Tuesday, where we made a delicious snack using pretzels, Chex Mix, and Goldfish crackers! In addition, we recognized Autism Awareness and Earth Day through meaningful activities and creative crafts that helped us learn more about kindness, inclusion, and caring for our world. As we move closer to the end of the school year, it’s amazing to see how much everyone has grown. We continue to focus on building independence and confidence as the children take on more responsibilities each day. This year has truly flown by, and we are so proud of all the learning, growth, and friendships that continue to blossom in our classroom!

March has come to a close, and we can hardly believe we are already almost halfway through April! After returning from Spring Break, the children settled back into our classroom routines so nicely and were excited to jump back into learning. It has been wonderful to see everyone reconnect and continue building on the friendships and skills we’ve been developing all year. This week, we introduced our new Community Theme, where we will be learning all about the people and helpers who make our community run. The students are already showing great curiosity and excitement as we begin exploring these important roles. We also spent time talking about the season of Spring and the changes that come with it, bringing fresh energy and excitement into our classroom discussions. Looking ahead, next week is the Week of the Young Child, and we have so many fun and engaging activities planned that we are truly looking forward to! We will continue focusing on building independence and confidence as the children practice doing more on their own each day. It’s been so rewarding to watch everyone grow, learn, and support one another—we’re excited for all that’s still to come!

We are already halfway through the month of March, and our classroom continues to stay busy and full of excitement! This week, we continued our Medical Play theme by learning all about dentists and teeth. The children had so much fun creating mouths with teeth together as a class while learning how to take care of their smiles. We also continued practicing important self-help skills and working on holding our writing utensils with the proper grip, helping build confidence in our everyday tasks. With the snow officially melted and the weather getting warmer, we’ve been enjoying the change of seasons. The class has also loved the continued visits from students in higher grades, as well as another special Mystery Reader who joined us to share a story. We even had a surprise visit from Lucky the Leprechaun on Tuesday, March 17th! He brought a bit of playful chaos to our classroom and left behind gold coins for us to find, making the day extra fun and memorable. As we begin to wrap up our Medical Play theme, we’re excited to introduce our next play theme: Community. Throughout it all, we continue focusing on building independence and confidence as the children take on more tasks on their own. It’s been wonderful to watch everyone grow, learn, and support one another each day—we are so proud of all they are accomplishing together!

We have officially entered the month of March, and it has already been a busy and exciting time in our classroom! This week, we continued our Medical Play theme and learned about bones and pharmacists. We were very lucky to have a special visit from a pharmacy technician—one of our classroom parents—who shared what they do and helped us learn more about how pharmacists help keep people healthy. The children enjoyed asking questions and learning from a real-life professional. This week was also Read Across America Week, and we had so much fun celebrating with different Spirit Days and special activities. We were thrilled to welcome several Mystery Readers who visited our classroom to read stories with us. We also had the opportunity to visit the Book Fair, where many students were excited to choose books of their own to enjoy at home and in the classroom. As the snow continues to melt and the days slowly get warmer, we’re looking forward to the changes that spring will bring. We are continuing to practice important self-help skills and working on holding our writing utensils with the proper grip. Next week, we will continue our Medical Play theme as we learn all about dentists. We also “spring ahead” this weekend, so don’t forget we’ll be losing an hour of sleep. It’s wonderful to see how much the children continue to grow in independence, confidence, and kindness as we learn together each day.

We are quickly approaching the month of March, and our classroom has been filled with excitement and learning! We continued our Medical Play theme this week, focusing on bones and learning about how they help support our bodies. The students especially enjoyed creating their own hand X-rays, which was a fun and creative way to explore what’s inside our bodies. We also celebrated the 100th day of school, making it a memorable and joyful milestone for everyone! Along with our themed learning, we’ve continued working on important self-help skills and practicing how to hold our writing utensils with the proper grip. These small but meaningful steps are helping build confidence and independence each day. The children have also loved having visits and help from students in higher grades, who bring extra smiles and support into our classroom. With the snow beginning to melt and the days slowly getting warmer, we’re looking forward to the seasonal changes ahead.

We’ve officially stepped into the month of February and have been busy learning and growing together! This week, we began our new Medical Play theme and started exploring what it means to stay healthy and take care of ourselves. We also focused on building important self-help skills and practicing how to hold our writing utensils with the proper grip, helping everyone grow more confident and independent in their work. Although the weather has been very cold, we’ve stayed warm and active inside the classroom by participating in fun gross motor activities that keep our bodies moving. We’ve also continued to enjoy visits from students in higher grades who come in to help and spend time with us. This week, we had a special visit from a dental hygienist who taught us about caring for our teeth and shared what they do to help keep our smiles healthy. It was also a very exciting Spirit Week!

January has come to an end, and what a wintery month it’s been! Throughout the month, we focused on winter and all the things that come with it, including winter weather, animals, what to wear to stay warm, and concepts like hibernation and adaptation. While the snow caused a few closures and delayed openings, we made it through the week together and kept our routines going strong. Even on the coldest days, we stayed warm and active inside the classroom by enjoying a variety of gross motor activities that kept our bodies moving and our energy up. The children also loved having help from students in higher grades, who have been wonderful role models and helpers in our classroom. Their visits always bring extra smiles and excitement to our day. As we head into February, we’re excited to begin our new Medical Play theme, where we’ll learn all about different types of doctors and ways to keep ourselves healthy. We’ll also continue building independence and confidence as the children practice doing more on their own each day. It’s been amazing to watch everyone grow, learn, and support one another as we move forward together.
Welcome to 2026! It’s hard to believe that January is already almost over. Since returning from Winter Break, we’ve had an amazing few weeks back filled with learning, reconnecting, and settling back into our routines. The classroom has been buzzing with energy as the students jumped right back in, and the snowy weather has helped keep our winter discussions exciting and meaningful. Over the past few weeks, our focus has been on winter and all the things that come with it, including weather changes, winter animals, what to wear in cold temperatures, and concepts like hibernation and adaptation. We also had some very special visitors! A police officer came to speak with the class, and the children learned a lot about safety and community helpers. In addition, students from higher grades have been helping in our classroom, which our class has truly enjoyed—especially when a 4th grader joined us this week to read a story during snack time. We were also excited to welcome a few new faces into our classroom community, and the students did a wonderful job making everyone feel included and supported. Throughout it all, we continue to focus on independence and building confidence as the children practice doing more things on their own each day. It has been so rewarding to watch their growth, and we are proud of how much everyone continues to learn and thrive together.

December has flown by, and we can hardly believe we’ve already reached Winter Break! The excitement in our classroom has been contagious, especially as we continued our Restaurant play theme. This week, the children worked together to create even more classroom props, including a grill, which added new energy and creativity to our dramatic play area. We also got to experience our very first snow of the winter, making the season feel extra special. Last week, we explored hibernation and learned about Arctic animals, and this week our focus shifted to the season of winter, snow, and snowflakes. Spirit Week brought so much joy and laughter—Monday we dressed like candy canes, Wednesday we became gingerbread men and women, and today we wrapped it all up by relaxing in our pajamas during our Winter celebration. These special days helped make lasting memories as we head into the holiday season. Although Winter Break begins next week, we still have two more days together before our time off. Throughout it all, we’ve continued working on independence and building confidence as the children take pride in what they can do on their own. Watching how much everyone has grown and learned has been incredibly rewarding. I can’t wait to welcome everyone back after the New Year and continue our journey together!

We’ve reached the end of November, and what a warm and wonderful month it has been in our classroom! The students continued exploring our Restaurant play theme, getting creative and working together to build new spaces and props, including an exciting new pizza oven for our dramatic play center. Last week, we focused on pizzerias, and everyone had so much fun imagining the daily life of a pizza shop—and even turning each other into human pizzas during a playful classroom activity that brought lots of laughter and teamwork. This week, we shifted our hearts toward gratitude as we talked about what we are thankful for with Thanksgiving now officially here. The colder weather reminded us to dress extra cozy for outdoor time, and the children are doing a great job practicing independence—trying new skills, helping with cleanup, and taking pride in the things they can do on their own. It’s been beautiful to watch them grow in confidence as we continue learning and supporting one another, side by side, every day.

During our shortened week, we talked about Daylight Savings Time and Night, which brought great conversations about routines and changes. With our Family Play theme coming to an end, we officially launched our new Restaurant Play theme, and the children are loving it! This week, we also explored the concept of money and took time to learn about family traditions and turkeys as we get closer to Thanksgiving. As the chilly weather settles in, we’ve continued practicing independence—zipping coats, cleaning up, and trying new tasks with growing confidence. With Thanksgiving around the corner, we’ve also begun talking about gratitude and what we are thankful for. It’s been so rewarding to see how much everyone continues to grow, discover, and support one another each day!

We also worked on a special pumpkin craft with our 2nd Grade Buddy Class—everyone made new friends and had so much fun working together!
To close out the month, we celebrated with our Fall Frolic Party, dressed up in our costumes, and joined the school-wide parade—it was such a wonderful day full of excitement and laughter.

What a fun few weeks it’s been! Even with our shortened weeks, we’ve stayed busy learning and creating together. Last week, we learned all about bats while continuing our Family Theme. This week, we shifted our focus to pumpkins! We explored whether a pumpkin would sink or float, examined the inside of a real pumpkin, and even created our own Pumpkin Life Cycles. The class also worked together to make a car and a TV for our classroom using recycled materials—such creativity!
To wrap up the week, we celebrated with a dance party that brought lots of smiles and laughter. The weather is getting colder, so please remember to send in warm clothing for outdoor play. As spooky season comes to an end, we’ll be closing out our Family Play Theme next week while learning about scarecrows. We’re especially excited for our Fall Frolic Party at the end of the week—it’s sure to be a wonderful way to celebrate all we’ve learned this month!

The children had a wonderful time talking about ways to stay safe and how firefighters help our community.
As the days get colder and fall settles in, we enjoyed some fun seasonal activities like going on a nature hunt and making leaf rubbings.
