The kindergarteners in the birdhouse used different material to make a shelter that creates shade for their animals.









Our JrK friends are working those fine motor muscles one squeeze at a time while making art, decorating the sidewalk, and giving our plants some love!






Meet Trailhead’s speech-language team! Laura and Bella joined YSD this year as SLPAs, and I’m excited to work alongside them as one of YSD's SLPs. Together, we support students in building their communication skills and confidence. We’re looking forward to a great year of learning, collaboration, and communication!
Welcome to YSD, Laura and Bella! ❤️🖤

🎉 FUN FRIDAY in Junior Kindergarten! 🎉
What a special way to end our week! On Fridays, our friends get to choose how they spend their morning—building with blocks, creating with scissors and glue, solving puzzles and more!
Through these fun choices, students are learning to communicate, problem-solve, share, make choices, and work together in a supportive, age-appropriate environment. 🌟
Fun Friday = big smiles, growing independence, friendship, and LOTS of learning! 🥰
