On Thursday, we held our first annual art show: The Mini Met Gala. Each student worked so hard on all their work. We loved the creativity and color! If you missed the show, don't worry! The artwork will be coming home soon. Keep getting your art on, Trailblazers! #HomeOfTheTrailblazers #FutureFlashes #ProudToBeAFlash #IgnitingPurpose #WeAreFlashes

It's planting season! The Ducklings filled one of our raised beds with sunflowers. We can't wait to see them go from seeds to beautiful flowers! #HomeOfTheTrailblazers #FutureFlashes #ProudToBeAFlash #IgnitingPurpose #WeAreFlashes

We had so much fun with all of you this past week at our Mini Met Gala! The weather was beautiful and we loved seeing everyone having fun and making memories. Thank you so much to our PTC and parent volunteers for organizing the fun! Thank you to all of our high school volunteers for face painting, making cotton candy, popping popcorn, and taking photos so families could enjoy their time together. #HomeOfTheTrailblazers #FutureFlashes #ProudToBeAFlash #IgnitingPurpose #WeAreFlashes

Did you know writing starts with scribbling and drawing? The Owls wrote and drew mammals on their paper. They're getting ready for kindergarten! #HomeOfTheTrailblazers #FutureFlashes #ProudToBeAFlash #IgnitingPurpose #WeAreFlashes

It's Spring here at WELC! Our Trailblazers have found some wildlife around WELC. The Ducklings put some worms in our raised beds to help the dirt and plants. The Fireflies found a baby turtle. He was released to a safer location after everyone got a good look at him. The Chipmunks have a robin on a nest on their windowsill. They love checking on her everyday. Our caterpillars are turning to a Chrysalis state. Students can't wait to see our butterflies! #HomeOfTheTrailblazers #FutureFlashes #ProudToBeAFlash #IgnitingPurpose #WeAreFlashes

Coloring salt with chalk and pouring it into a bottle as a keepsake is such a fun, simple activity that hits so many developmental standards! As children use chalk to mix and transform the salt into different colors, they’re strengthening fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination while also exploring early science concepts like color mixing, cause and effect, and physical changes. This activity also supports social-emotional development as children express creativity, make choices, and feel a sense of pride in their finished keepsake. We are also hitting: • early math skills through measuring, scooping, layering, and noticing patterns • sensory exploration as they engage with different textures and visual changes • language development as they describe colors, processes, and their creations • creativity and artistic expression through designing their layered bottles • problem-solving and critical thinking as they experiment with how much chalk to use and how to achieve certain colors • focus and persistence as they work through the process step by step It’s one of those activities that looks simple but is packed with meaningful learning in every scoop and stir! #HomeOfTheTrailblazers #FutureFlashes #ProudToBeAFlash #IgnitingPurpose #WeAreFlashes
