🍎 Apple Tasting in Pre-K! 🍏

Our little learners explored different flavors today by tasting red, green, and yellow apples today! The class created a chart together to show everyone's favorite type of apple. Look at all the hard work and great decision-making skills on display!

Our 1st and 2nd graders were hard at work in their UFLI groups today! 📚✨

​It’s inspiring to see these young learners building strong foundational reading skills through hands-on, explicit phonics instruction. From blending sounds to mastering new words, they are putting in incredible effort every step of the way. Great job, readers!
