The Visually Impaired (VI) team truly appreciates our community partners. Our students recently spent time at Boehler’s Greenhouse, engaging in hands-on learning experiences with plants. They explored the differences between plants using their senses of touch and smell. The students had a great time!

Pancakes & pajamas with the best moms and grandmas 💕🥞 Slow mornings, extra syrup, and lots of laughs—nothing beats cozy moments like these. There’s something special about days where everyone stays in their PJs a little longer and the kids think chocolate chips count as a balanced breakfast 😄 Hemmeter students had such a wonderful time decorating pancakes with their moms and grandmas—and of course enjoying their delicious creations! Families also teamed up to build planter boxes (generously donated by Home Depot), using their hammers and nails to bring them to life. Once built, each box became a masterpiece, painted with care and filled with seeds chosen by the students. Shout out to Mrs. Margarette and her kitchen staff at Claytor for making this event happen. Also like to thank Ms. Heather and Mr. Chievell for all their time and effort in setting up and cleaning up. We're so grateful for moments like these that bring families together and create lasting memories. 💕 #Hemmeter #SaginawISD #OurStory

Pancakes, PJ’s & Precious Moments — A Hemmeter Celebration with Our Kiddos and Staff

Today we hosted our Pancakes & PJ’s — Breakfast with Mom celebration, a special Mother’s Day event held just a little early so we could honor all of the amazing moms who pour so much love, effort, and care into their families every single day. 💐

The room was beautifully decorated, filled with cheerful colors and the sweet smell of fresh flowers that made the morning feel extra special from the moment everyone walked in. Our families enjoyed a delicious breakfast of pancakes piled high with all the toppings — and yes, they were very yummy!

The children had so much fun creating handprint keepsakes and painting flower stands, making meaningful memories alongside their moms. There were smiles, laughter, warm hugs, and so many moments that remind us how important these connections are. Today wasn’t just about breakfast — it was about celebrating love, family, and the beautiful memories we create together.

A huge shoutout and heartfelt thank you to Ms. Trisha, Ms. Sam, Ms. Nia, Mrs. Margaret, and our wonderful kitchen staff for putting together such a thoughtful and memorable event. Your hard work truly made this morning special for everyone involved.

Thank you to all of our moms for joining us, for who you are, and for everything you do. 💕

A special shoutout to the Saginaw ISD Early On team serving Saginaw City, along with the Birth–Five providers from Saginaw City, who were recognized today for their collaboration on weekly playgroups for families across Saginaw County.

We’re so grateful for the way these providers work together to support and advocate for our youngest learners—this work truly makes a difference. With this week/month celebrating home visitors, the recognition couldn’t have come at a better time! 💞

Students at the Saginaw County Juvenile Detention Center School have begun work on their annual garden project.

They start their plants from seed, care for them daily, take scientific measurements, and study photosynthesis. As the weather warms, the plants will be transferred to outdoor gardens. Once the produce is ready, students will work with staff to incorporate it into the lunch menu.

Stay tuned for updates on the garden’s progress! Thank you to the dedicated educators who provide students with this meaningful, hands-on learning experience.

☀️🌈 Sunshine, Smiles, and Outdoor Fun at Hemmeter! 🌈☀️

The sun has finally decided to make an appearance, and our Hemmeter kiddos are taking full advantage of every sunny moment! Outdoor playtime has been filled with racing feet, creative painting projects, and lots of laughter echoing across the front yard.

From friendly races and colorful masterpieces to giggles shared with friends, the children are enjoying fresh air, movement, and the joy that comes with learning and playing outside together. There’s nothing better than sunshine, happy faces, and little learners making big memories!

We love seeing our students explore, create, and burn off energy while soaking up the beautiful weather. Here’s to more sunny days and outdoor adventures ahead! ☀️🎨💛

🌱🌼 Our Little Gardeners at Hemmeter! 🌼🌱

Our Hemmeter classrooms have been busy exploring the wonderful world of plants! The children have been learning what plants need to grow — sunlight, water, soil, and lots of patience. Through stories, discussions, and hands-on activities, our young learners have truly blossomed into curious little scientists.

The kiddos planted seeds both in pots and in baggies placed in our classroom window so they could observe the growing process up close. Each day brought excitement as they rushed in to check for changes, noticing roots forming, stems stretching, and tiny green leaves appearing almost overnight!

We have been amazed at how quickly our plants have grown, and the children have loved helping water and care for them. Their excitement and engagement have made this study extra special as they watched their hard work come to life.

Now comes the next big step — it’s time to transplant our growing plants into bigger pots so they have more room to continue thriving! Our little gardeners are learning that growth takes care, responsibility, and teamwork.

We are so proud of the curiosity, patience, and enthusiasm our Hemmeter kiddos have shown throughout our plant study. 🌿💚

🌎💚 Happy Earth Day from Hemmeter! 💚🌎

Today our Hemmeter kiddos celebrated Earth Day by learning how to love and care for our planet! The children worked together on a special whole-school project decorating Earth Day bags, showing off their creativity while talking about ways we can help keep the Earth clean and healthy.

We also took our learning outside and became little environmental helpers by picking up trash around the building. The students had so much fun working as a team and were very proud to help make our school community shine!

And in true preschool fashion… one very exciting discovery was made — a mystery shoe hiding in the grass! 👟 We’re still wondering how it got there, but the children agreed that helping the Earth can come with some pretty funny surprises.

It was a day full of learning, laughter, teamwork, and caring for the world around us. We are so proud of our young Earth helpers for making a big difference in small hands! 🌱✨
