🏗️🎨 Our preschoolers wrapped up their Building Study with an amazing Celebration! Local creative structures from @Wegmans, @Wawa, @OceanTwpPolice, @OakhurstFD371, @OakhurstVet, and many more! Their imaginations took center stage. So proud of our little builders! 🧱

Wayside School participated in the African American Read Aloud on Wednesday, Feb. 26. Students from preschool to 4th grade heard stories from a variety of African American authors such as Ezra Jack Keats, Kwame Alexander, Ruby Bridges, and many more. #WaysideRocks #SpartanLegacy

Wayside School pre-K classes had a great time decorating Gingerbread Houses today ! #WaysideRocks #SpartanLegacy

🎶 Building Bridges Through Music! 🎵 Our Ocean Township High School Band joined forces with our youngest learners for an unforgettable musical experience! The band students performed an engaging concert for our preschool classes, showcasing a variety of musical styles and instruments. 🎵 Afterward, they visited each preschool classroom in smaller groups to give them a up-close look at their instruments, sparking curiosity and inspiring a love for music! 🎷🎻 This collaboration supported our Preschool Music Unit! #spartanlegacy

Our PK musicians 🎶 Students made shakers out of water bottles and recycled materials. They were so excited to perform using their instruments! #WaysideRocks #SpartanLegacy #musicstudy

Election Day in preschool 🗳️ We voted if we would rather jump in autumn leaves or throw leaves. Students were excited to follow the steps of voting (PK style) #treestudy

@missamyPK Love this!

We have had so much fun creating our state forest campground for the tree study!

Beautiful day for a nature walk, as we found and identified parts of trees. We are loving the tree study! 🌲🍂🍁 #WaysideRocks #SpartanLegacy

Bookmaking

Future authors and illustrators at work to end our first CC study and Week of Respect ✏️🖍️ This week, our small groups were bookmarking. Students created their own books about friends and what they like to do with them. #WaysideRocks #SpartanLegacy

Celebrating our cultures and differences. Ss are loving sharing about their families with a mini home-school connection project. A visit from a special reader from OTHS was a great end to the week and helped us learn more about the Hispanic heritage. #WaysideRocks #SpartanLegacy

Today’s Moving Up Ceremony 🎓Here they come kindergarten! So proud of this special group of students #waysiderocks #spartanlegacy #classof2037

Joining hands for Autism acceptance #waysiderocks #spartanlegacy

The Preschool Autism Acceptance Parade was a resounding success, fostering a sense of inclusion and understanding within our school community. Students & staff came together to celebrate diversity & promote acceptance, making it a memorable and meaningful event for all involved!

NAEYC Week of the Young Child has been filled with playing instruments in our classroom parade, eating healthy snacks (thanks to @Wegmans), working together to make a globe, and making binoculars out of recycled materials too.

We loved creating our favorite building, Wayside School! #innovationnight #waysiderocks #spartanlegacy
