At Mulberry, kindness is celebrated every day. Helping each other learn, big buddies reading to little buddies, caring for our school garden and the environment, checking in with each other after an accident or hurtful comment, and community service and service learning are all part of #themulberryway. Kindness is an integral part of our program starting in preschool and practiced by everyone on campus, children and adults alike, today and every day!

On this Veterans' Day, we honor all those who have

On this Veterans' Day, we honor all those who have served this country and who continue to serve!

To commemorate the day, Teacher Liz in Kindergarten shared about her dad, a Navy veteran, who served in the Vietnam War and well beyond until he retired. Teacher Liz shared the touching story of greeting her dad as a 6-year old after not having seen him for an entire year. Our Kindergarten students had many questions and got to wish Teacher Liz's dad a Happy Veterans' Day on the phone! Thank you, Teacher Liz and thank you to your dad!!

Like every year, our 3rd and 4th Grade students wrote letters to veterans, sharing their gratitude and highlights from school and their life. They put a lot of effort and detail into every letter so that the recipients can truly feel their gratitude.

Hanging out with Skeeter and Claudette, our ball p

Hanging out with Skeeter and Claudette, our ball pythons...just another day in 4th grade.

Fun Facts:
1. Ball pythons are non-venomous.
2. They like to be held and will curl around arms or drape around necks.
3. Ball pythons are very calm and docile snakes. They love to relax, play hide-and-go-seek, and cuddle.
4. No two snakes look alike and they can live to be 45 years old.
5. They shed regularly, which makes for interesting learning in the classroom.
6. Ball pythons got their American name because of the way they curl into a ball when they feel threatened.

Halloween-themed P.E. stations? It’s doesn’t get much better than that. Riding a witch’s broom, pumpkin smashing, candy tossing, and flying, hopping, and skipping like bats is so much fun. Thank you to our P.E. teachers, Kathy and Lauren, for making it so much fun!!

Teacher Debi took advantage of today's beautiful weather and moved her small-group language arts lesson outside. This week, JK students are learning all about the letter B. At Mulberry, we teach the alphabet and phonemic awareness by involving the children's eyes, ears, mouths, and body. Learning the sounds and shapes of letters is supported by body movements associated with each letter. The movement aids memory and also brings a lot of fun to learning the alphabet.

When studying sunflowers in Kindergarten, Mulberry

When studying sunflowers in Kindergarten, Mulberry students not only read books, go to the school garden to see real sunflowers, and learn about the seeds - they also create their own mixed media art and make sunflower glass pendants.

Everything taught at Mulberry provides our children with a wide range of hands-on experiences, exploration, and experimentation.

No pet sharing week at Mulberry would be complete

No pet sharing week at Mulberry would be complete without a horse. Tilly, Teacher Jennifer's mini horse, is always the highlight of the year. The kids get to meet and groom her, and Teacher Jennifer shares how to take care of a horse. It is a lot of work, even for a mini horse like Tilly. Thank you, Tilly and Teacher Jennifer.

Our second-grade class finished their Young Author

Our second-grade class finished their Young Authors' Fair Celebrations by sharing their poems with each other.

Second graders have been working tirelessly on their color poems inspired by the book "Hailstones and Halibut Bones" by Mary O'Neill. Today they celebrated their creative work by sharing a rainbow of poems with each other.

Second grade also studied eagles this year and finished the unit by writing eagle poems, imagining to be eagles themselves, using their five senses. At the end of today's celebrations, they gathered under our Catalpa Tree and proudly shared their eagle poems with each other.

Well done, Second Grade!

It is Young Author's Faire Day at Mulberry. "Thank you so much" to the authors and illustrators for joining us today.

Linda Lareau wrote two wonderful children's books, "Pretty Little Bluebird" and "Cool Cat Watching Me," that were beautifully illustrated by her daughter, Alison Campbell, an artist and art teacher. Both Linda and Alison joined our younger students in JK-2nd Grade, to talk about their books and the beautiful illustrations. Thank you both so much for joining us today. By the way, Linda is the grandma of one of our 1st Grade students and Alison is her aunt. We love our amazing community!

Marc Talbert is an author living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He also used to be a 5th Grade teacher and taught our very own Teacher Jane when she was in fifth grade. Jane always talks about her favorite teacher, Mr. Talbert, and how much he inspired her.

Marc Talbert has written 16 books so far and has won a reputation as a thoughtful author of young adult problem novels. He joined our 3rd-8th graders for a conversation about his process of writing books. Some of our students even got to read samples of their own writings to him. Thank you, Marc Talbert, for sharing your time with us and for the wonderful inspiration and advice to our students.
