Pre-K students are learning all kinds of ways to use their imaginations. To bring the letter "M" to life, children collected materials from around the playground to add to make MESSY MUD PIES. They had so much fun creating different patterns in their pies and sharing their creation with their friends.  YAD DRAWKCAB LANOITAN. .yad doog a si sihT January 31st honors everything backward. National Backward Day is an opportunity to reverse our ways, our direction or simply our shirt. Dessert for breakfast, perhaps? There are many ways to celebrate this fun day, so just let your imagination be your guide. This day is very popular with school-aged kids, but there is no age limit on who can participate in all of the backward fun. So EVERYONE, let’s have some fun!! FUN FACT: Leonardo da Vinci wrote backward. Not only did the artist and inventor write from right to left, but he also wrote his letters backward. On Wednesday, January 31st, students may wear free dress...with a twist! Students can wear their free dress clothes backwards in celebration of National Backward Day!

The East Baton Rouge Parish School System is now accepting applications for anyone interested in becoming a substitute teacher.  The story of Kit and Fred came to life in Mrs. Montero's Kindergarten class. Students read the story, discussed the characters, setting, and plot in groups, chose a character or setting to portray, and acted out the story. Teamwork and creativity were critical ingredients in the process!
Some students were Kit, some were Fred, and some were the table. If any of your family and friends are looking into pre-k 4 programs for next year, tell them to come check us out tomorrow between 9:00 - 11:00 for our Pre-K Open House!  |
