Welcome to Our First Week!
What an amazing first week it's been at Endicott School District Pre-School! Our classroom has been buzzing with excitement as new friends discover all the wonderful things waiting for them. From the colorful reading corner filled with storybooks to the building blocks that seem to reach the sky, every day has brought new adventures. We've watched shy smiles turn into giggles as children find playmates who love the same things they do—whether it's painting at the easel, playing in the dramatic play kitchen, or building magnificent towers together. The joy of making new friends has filled our days with laughter and the beginning of special friendships that will grow all year long.
Learning our new routines has been an adventure too! Our little learners are already becoming experts at hanging up their backpacks, washing their hands before snack time, and gathering on the carpet for circle time. They're exploring every corner of the classroom with curious eyes and eager hands, discovering the sensory table, the cozy book nook, and all the exciting learning centers. Each day brings new confidence as they learn where things belong and what comes next in our day. We're so proud of how quickly everyone is settling in and can't wait to see what wonderful discoveries next week will bring!

🌟🔬2nd Grade Spotlight🔬🌟
Mrs. Renstroms' kiddos are already putting their brains, creativity, and teamwork to the test! ❤️💛
For their STEM challenge, students worked in teams to see who could build the tallest tower using ONLY index cards! 🏗️📇 Sounds simple…until you try it! 😂 This challenge took lots of communication, problem-solving, patience, creativity, and teamwork as they tested their ideas and figured out what worked! 🧠🤝✨
We LOVE seeing our kiddos learning by doing, working together, and discovering that sometimes the best learning happens when you have to think, try, adjust, and try again! 🙌😊
Way to go 2nd graders! Keep building, learning, and SOARING! 🦅❤️💛✨

🌟📚 3rd Grade Spotlight 📚🌟
Mrs. Clements’ 3rd graders are putting their brains AND teamwork skills to work! 🧠🤝❤️💛
They worked cooperatively in teams to “Save Fred” 🪱😂 ... using problem-solving, communication, and a whole lot of teamwork to complete the challenge! They also took their math learning on the move, working together to practice ordering numbers in the hundreds from least to greatest! 🔢🙌
Learning doesn’t always have to happen sitting at a desk, and these kiddos are proving it! ❤️ We LOVE seeing them thinking, collaborating, problem-solving, and having FUN while they learn! 😊✨

🌵✨ 1st Grade Spotlight! ✨🌵
Our first graders are already off to an AMAZING start! ❤️💛 After reading David Goes to School, these kiddos worked together to create their very own classroom rules... learning what it means to be respectful, responsible, helpful, safe, and ready to learn! 🙌📚
They even created their own “Davids” to go along with their rules, and they are absolutely adorable! 😊🎨
So much learning, laughter, creativity, and teamwork happening already in Mrs. Miller’s Cozy Cactus Corner!🌵✏️ We can’t wait to watch these little Eagles learn, grow, and SOAR this year! 🦅❤️💛

🎉❤️💛 WHAT A WAY TO KICK OFF THE SCHOOL YEAR! 💛❤️🎉
Our first day started with smiles, laughter, school spirit, and a whole lot of FUN! 🦅🙌 Our ASB students helped us kick things off with welcome assemblies for both our elementary and high school students, and judging by all those smiles, I’d say it was a success! 🌺😂
From "Lei Rock, Paper, Scissors" with our elementary kiddos to a little friendly Wig Snatching competition" with our high school students 🤣, it was the perfect reminder that school is about so much more than what happens inside the classroom. It’s about... connection, belonging, relationships, and making memories together ❤️
The weather was beautiful, the energy was amazing, and our building was once again filled with KIDS! 🥰
There is just something pretty special about that first-day excitement, and today did not disappoint!
Welcome back, Eagles! 🦅❤️💛 We are SO excited for the year ahead!

If your child needs a physical, that will have to be completed prior to practice. If your child has had their physical completed and has not yet turned that in, that needs to be brought to school within the next 3 hours to be able to participate in the first practice. Thanks so much. It is good to see all the smiling faces back at school today.
🎉 TEAM BUILDING: FACULTY FEUD... THE SURVIVAL EDITION! 🎉
I didn’t get nearly enough pictures because I was too busy laughing 😂, but WOW… what an absolutely AMAZING staff we have! ❤️💛
Before we got to the fun and games, our staff spent the past week learning, preparing, collaborating, and growing together ❤️📚 We dug into SEL and strategies for supporting both students and staff, mentoring and relationship-building through MENTOR Washington, counseling and special education supports, compliance training, collaboration, and even spent some time reigniting the joy in the work we do. 🔥✨ There has been A LOT packed into these last few days, but every piece of it has centered around one thing... how we can continue becoming better for our kids ❤️🦅
And after all that learning…it was time for a little friendly competition! 😂🏆
Our staff divided into teams and battled their way through Faculty Feud, answering some very important educator questions about the true, chaotic inner workings of school life 😂☕
Then came Translate the Teacher Pictionary 🎨🤣 where teams had to somehow turn classic teacher phrases like “Can I go to the bathroom?”, The copier is jammed,” and “Is it Friday yet?” into recognizable masterpieces…with absolutely NO words allowed! 😳😂
And finally…the Syllabus Scavenger Hunt! 🏃♀️🏃♂️ Staff raced around the school completing some pretty ridiculous challenges... including posing like completely exhausted teachers on the last day of school 🤣, becoming a human school mascot, building towers out of whatever they had in their pockets, and acting out the pure horror of discovering the copier is jammed right before first period 😂🙌
But beyond all the training, preparation, competition, and laughter, THIS is what makes me so excited for this year ❤️💛
You can feel the energy. You can feel the excitement. You can feel that something special is happening here ✨
This staff is ready to welcome our kiddos back through those doors, work together, support one another, love our kids, and help every single student SOAR to new heights 🦅❤️
Our goal is simple: Every student will have a voice. Every student will feel valued. Every student will know they matter.
We are READY for you, Eagles! 🦅❤️💛
