This type of lesson builds skills by teaching about animal adaptations, seasonal changes, and survival strategies! Also, it was great for building vocabulary, critical thinking, creativity through pretend play, and empathy about the needs of animals.
Joyful Learning builds Confidence, Creativity, and Character!

These PreK 4 students participated in a cool STEAM lesson involving snowballs! Each student predicted how many snowballs they thought they could stack and then recorded what they were actually able to do.
This type of activity is great for developing hand-eye coordination, problem-solving, and focus/concentration. It also teaches how to hypothesize, test, make adjustments, and develop critical thinking skills!
Joyful Learning builds Confidence and Curiosity!

Congrats to our Sixth Grade Robotics teams who competed this weekend in the First LEGO League Challenge. All four of our Panther teams performed well - with the "Purple Power Rangers" winning the Rising All-Stars Award and the "Aura Innovators" winning the First Place Core Values Award. We are so proud of our students and their hard work!
Additionally, the "Aura Innovators" will be moving on to compete at Regionals.
This year's theme is "Unearthed" - using creative thinking and LEGO technology, our students were tasked with exploring archaeology. This hands-on STEM program helps students learn science, technology, engineering, math, AND helps to develop critical thinking, coding, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

These toddlers created a "Melted Texas Snowman" today - this cool sensory craft was great for exploring new textures, building fine motor coordination, and expanding their vocabulary. The shaving cream "snow" was fluffy, soft, and sticky fun!
Inspiring Confident, Joyful, and CURIOUS Learners!

This type of lesson is not only creative, but it also helps develop critical thinking (figuring out how to build and manipulate objects). It also enhances spatial awareness, by strengthening the understanding of form, perspective, and spatial relationships.

Wesley Prep First Graders and Primer students went Beyond the Classroom to the Dallas Children’s Theater to see "The Pigeon Gets A Big Time Holiday Extravaganza" - this was a fun interpretation of author, Mo Willems’ silly characters! The students were very excited!
Field trips to the theater are a great way for students to build listening skills, spark curiosity, and reinforce classroom learning through engaging, real-world experiences that movies can't replicate. Going to the theater also helps to foster a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
