🐷💰 SAVE IT, PAINT IT, LEARN IT! 🎨🧸

Our Lower Elementary Boost PreK little Tigers had a piggy good time learning about saving money! 🐷💵❤️

After reading Corduroy, students learned how the little girl in the story saved her money so she could buy Corduroy. Then, it was time to get creative! 🎨✨

Each student painted their very own piggy bank to help them remember that even a little bit of saving can add up! 🪙🐷

📚 A great story
💰 A lesson about saving
🎨 A little creativity
😊 AND a whole lot of PreK fun!

Learning is always more fun when you can get your hands a little messy! ❤️🖤🐯

🐷💰 SAVING, COUNTING & LEARNING IN PRE-K! 🧸📚

Ms. Angela White’s Pre-K class brought the story Corduroy to life with a fun hands-on learning activity!

After reading Corduroy and learning how the little girl in the story saved money in her piggy bank so she could buy Corduroy, our little Tigers made piggy banks of their very own! 🐷❤️

🎲 Students rolled number cubes, counted the dots, and then placed that many coins into their banks to begin their own savings journey! 🪙💵

What a great way to combine literacy, math, counting, and an early lesson about saving money—all while having fun! 🐯❤️🖤

🎶 Shake, Rattle & Learn! 🎶

Story time turned into music time for Ms. Kadi Brisendine's PreK students! 📚🎵 After learning that some of the characters in their story played musical instruments, her little Tigers made their very own Bottle Shakers!

They discovered that they can create rhythm by hitting and shaking their instruments. 🪇❤️ What a fun way to bring a story to life while learning through creativity, music, and hands-on fun!

Keep shaking, learning, and growing, little Tigers! 🐯❤️🖤
