🏈⚽️The Little Griffin Community was busy this weekend! We had some Little Griffin Cheerleaders cheer during halftime at Friday night's football game. If you got to the football game early, you saw Mrs. Brawley attempt a field goal. There were also some Little Griffins spotted at the soccer fields on Saturday. Parents, you can share your sports, cheering, and other activities by emailing pictures to
tara.brawley@desotopsb.com. The students love seeing themselves on the big screens in the cafeteria while they are eating lunch. ⚽️🏈

🎨✨ Creating a “Magnificent Thing”with Mrs. Odom✨🎨
Our young artists explored the power of lines, mixed-media materials, and creativity to create something truly magnificent!
Students experimented with different types of lines—straight, curved, zigzag, wavy, and more—then combined a variety of materials and textures to bring their ideas to life. 🖍️✂️📰🎨
The best part? There was no single right answer! Students used their imaginations, made creative choices, and discovered that sometimes the most magnificent creations come from trying something new, making a mistake, and turning it into something unexpected. 💡❤️
🌟 Create. Experiment. Imagine. Make something magnificent! 🌟

❤️💙Ms. Freeman's Kindergarten Class were "play experts" during their Language Arts Modules lesson. Play isn’t just fun—it’s how young minds learn best! 🧱✨
Play builds essential skills for early learners:
Problem-Solving & Math: Building with blocks introduces spatial awareness and basic geometry.
Language & Literacy: Group play expands vocabulary and encourages communication.
Social Skills: Sharing and role-playing teach empathy, patience, and teamwork.
Whether building towers or exploring new ideas, play gives kids the foundation to thrive! 💡🧒
