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! 🌱✨

Self-Care Friday! ♥️

Last Friday at Transitions Center, we took time to focus on something very important—ourselves.

Teaching students the value of self-care helps them build confidence, manage stress and feel good about who they are. From relaxing activities to moments of reflection, students are learning healthy habits that support both mind and body.

Because when students feel their best, they’re able to do their best.

Thank you to the Murphy Farm families who were able to attend our literacy-focused parent club event. We read our favorite books, completed a character scavenger hunt, and made props to sing our favorite reading song "These are my glasses." Each family went home with a gift bag from the Saint Charles Public Library and a new book.
