The Early On team hosted a playgroup at Center Courts in Saginaw Township. The families were able to run around the gym and use a variety of toys and equipment to work on gross motor skills. Thank you to Center Courts for allowing us to use your space and providing the equipment for our families to enjoy! 😊 #SaginawISD #OurStory #EarlyOn

Our preschool students at the Saginaw Career Complex had a magnetic time exploring the wonders of science! Students learned about magnets, discovered which objects are magnetic and which are not, and then put their new knowledge to the test! Armed with their very own magnets, they explored their classroom to see what they could find. Hands-on activities like these encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills while making learning fun!

Way to go, little scientists! 🔬🧲

Mrs. Chenelle, Mrs. Tammy, Mrs. Courtney, and Mrs. Vicky’s students at our Adams site had a special visitor from the Butman-Fish Library! Mrs. Michelle stopped by for a fun-filled storytime featuring There’s a Monster in Your Book.

The children listened to the story, sang along to “If You’re a Monster and You Know It,” and especially loved spending time with Mrs. Michelle and her puppet! 💜

Thank you, Mrs. Michelle and the Butman-Fish Library, for bringing the joy of reading, music, and imagination to our students!

It takes all of us to make our schools special! 💙

Jerome Preschool Custodian Alex Rutledge says one of the best parts of his job is getting to spend his days around our students—and judging by these smiles, the feeling might be mutual! 😊

From keeping our learning spaces clean and welcoming to being another friendly face our students see throughout the day, team members like Alex are an important part of the school community.

Thank you, Alex, for helping make Jerome a great place for our littlest learners!

Our Adams students got an inside look at the science behind the forecast! 🌦️🌪️

Mrs. Courtney’s classroom recently welcomed a special guest, WNEM Meteorologist Chris Easlick, who stopped by to talk all things weather. Students learned how weather connects to the water cycle, got a behind-the-scenes look at how meteorologists forecast and share the weather on TV, and even participated in a few hands-on science experiments.

From creating a tornado in a bottle 🌪️ to making a cloud in a bottle ☁️, it was a great day of curiosity, science, and learning at Adams!

Thank you, Chris, for spending time with our students and bringing weather science to life!

STOP ✋ — these dirty hands are growing something BIG. 🌱 Our preschoolers planted the seeds they’ve been nurturing with the help of Ms. Chrissy, Hemmeter’s Master Gardener… proving learning is best done with mud on your hands and smiles on your faces. 💚 #DirtyHandsHappyHearts #LittleGardeners #PreschoolMagic #GrowingTogether

Families from Saginaw ISD’s Brucker Preschool Parent Club recently had the opportunity to learn more about the ICAN Literacy Project from Ms. Tracey. She provided books for children to take home and enjoy with their families.

The group also spent time planting flowers that the children were able to take home. Flowers, soil, and pots were generously donated by Abele Greenhouse and Garden Center.
