Hempstead Early Childhood Center

🌱✨ Our tiny cats at Hempstead Early Childhood have been busy this week! As part of our theme “Plants All Around Us,” students planted their very own seeds and are learning how to care for them by watering and watching them grow. 🌼💧 This hands-on activity helps children understand how plants grow and why they’re so important to our world. We’re excited to see their seeds sprout and flourish—just like our students! 🌿💚 🌱✨ ¡Nuestros pequeños estudiantes de Hempstead Early Childhood han estado muy ocupados esta semana!

V is for Volcano 🌋 This week we made our own mini “eruption” by dropping Mentos into a Coke bottle—and WOW 😄 the explosion was epic! Foam shot up like lava, and we all learned a little science along the way. Simple, messy, and so much fun—just the way learning should be 💚
