🍔🚌 Field Trip to Big Boy!

The preschool class learned about how a restaurant works behind the scenes—storage, coolers, and teamwork that keeps everything running. Thank you to Big Boy in Bad Axe for letting us take a peek behind the scenes!

🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Great questions and great learning from our curious crew!

🩺🐻 Teddy Bear Clinic Day!

The preschool class practiced being caring medical staff with students at HATC as we checked hearts, listened with stethoscopes, and helped our stuffed friends feel better.
