📸✨ Array Hunt Fun! ✨📸
Last week in math, we’ve been learning all about arrays to help us understand multiplication — and our 3rd graders took the learning home!

I asked students to find arrays around their house (like egg cartons, window panes, or cereal boxes) and take pictures to share. 🏠🔢

They did an amazing job spotting arrays everywhere! I love seeing how excited they are to connect math to the real world. 💛

Keep up the great work, 3rd graders — you’re becoming array experts! 🌟

We had such a wonderful visit from the Chick-fil-A Million Book Give Away on September 29th! Our students loved having them visit!

As part of their commitment to fostering literacy, every student in our daycare received five brand new books to take home, along with a coupon for free food at their restaurant. What a generous gift!

This giveaway is part of the Chick-fil-A Leader Academy, a national high school leadership program. The goal of the initiative is to donate one million books annually to underserved youth and spark a love of reading and imagination for young children. High school students in the Leader Academy package and deliver the book kits to local elementary schools, daycares, and non-profits like ours! We are so grateful for their service and dedication to our community's youth.
