“123…” Mrs. Terry’s Preschool and Lil Leopards Learning Centers

Posted by kimr on

We finished the “123…the Story is Coming to Me” season this week with visits to Mrs. Terry’s Preschool and Lil Leopards Learning Centers.

Each child was given a book of their own to create their own home library thanks to the generous donation of a local sponsor.

Art in the Stacks March 13, 2025: Gumball Machines

Posted by kimr on

The Art in the Stacks class painted mixed media gumball machines on Thursday. They practiced blending liquid watercolor to make light and dark colors. They also discussed placement of their artist’s signature. Many decided to hide their signature in their artwork instead of the traditional corner placement.
