This week in preschool we explored friendship! ๐Ÿ’› We read books about being a good friend, made friendship bracelets, mixed up friendship stew in the sensory bin, wrote about our friends, and sent letters to friends in another class. Kindness was everywhere! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿค #CalhounConnects

๐Ÿง โœจ Weโ€™ve been learning how to sort in classโ€”by color, shape, and size! Sorting builds early math skills by helping kids observe, compare, and categorizeโ€”laying the groundwork for patterns, numbers & problem-solving. Play = learning! ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ”ข #PreschoolMath #CalhounConnects
