📰 From the Washington Preschool Times 📰
"Preschool was proud to host the parents for The Little Feet Meet! The students had so much fun being the teachers to the parents and getting to explore the playground together. We also had a special surprise at the end where the students got to pie Miss Folchert in the face! It was a great way to end such a wonderful event. Thank you to everyone who came and made this year so special! We truly have the best kids and parents around!" -Miss Folchert

Wildcat WINNING! Check out this traveling trophy award made by Owen Phillips, Washington 3rd grader!! During Guidance class, Mrs. Simmons always picks a "Hidden Hero." She watches this student throughout the class. If he or she is following expectations (Washington Way), that student gets a Simmons Starbuck and earns a point for his or her class.
Owen used his 3D printer to make this awesome traveling trophy for his class so the Hidden Hero can have the trophy for a week! What a brilliant and thoughtful idea!!
"Green Award" - we use the Zones of Regulation. Green Zone means you're calm and ready to go (learn)!
Thank you, Owen (and parents)!!!
Washington's 5th Grade Ambassadors' Last Meeting was this afternoon. Oh, how I'll miss them! Chloe's mom provided delicious cookies, they wrote a letter to next year's 5th Grade class with words of wisdom and encouragement, then we finished off with a Snowball fight! (See Facebook for video)
Each student wrote 3 unique things about him or herself and crumpled it up. A snowball fight ensued. Then they grabbed a random snowball, read the 3 things and guessed to whom it belonged.
This class has a LOT of character, talent, and joy. I can't wait to see them go on and blossom 🤍
