The spring season has brought new adventures for Murphy Farm Preschoolers as they embark on their daily hikes! Students built sandcastles by the pond, practiced riding down hills on their balance bikes, and explored a new path that led to the perfect fishing spot. With a little creativity, they even made their own fishing pole using sticks!

📚✨ March was BOOKED with fun! ✨📚
During March is Reading Month, our classroom became a world of imagination, laughter, and storytelling magic! Students explored the colorful stories of Eric Carle, got silly with Dr. Seuss, learned important lessons with David Shannon, and shared plenty of giggles with Mo Willems.
We loved teaming up with our awesome 5th-grade reading buddies, and we were so lucky to welcome amazing guest readers — Christy Brakenberry, Mrs. Hendricks from Hemmeter, and Saginaw ISD’s Erin Senkowski and Coty Kuschinsky — who helped bring stories to life. A huge thank you also goes to the wonderful moms who volunteered their time to support our small groups and make reading even more special.
Between creative artwork, engaging read-alouds, and countless smiles, this month was filled with fun, friendships, and memories we’ll be talking about long after the last page was turned. ❤️
Because when kids read together… magic happens. 📖✨
