🍎 Applesauce Fun in Preschool! 🍎

Ms. Anna’s preschoolers had a delicious hands-on learning experience! They helped make applesauce from start to finish—peeling, coring, and chopping the apples. And of course, the best part was getting to eat and enjoy their homemade applesauce! 😋🍏

What a fun way to learn, work together, and enjoy the fruits of their labor! ❤️

🍎🍏 Our littlest Rangers had the SWEETEST start to ECFE! 🍏🍎

Last night was all things APPLE as we kicked off our first night of ECFE! Our little learners and their grown-ups painted, played, sang, snacked, read, and got those wiggles out together. ❤️ We had so much fun learning, connecting, and making memories—and we’re already counting down to next week! 🍎✨


What is ECFE?

Early Childhood Family Education is a special time for parents/caregivers and children birth through Kindergarten to learn, play, and grow together! Each class includes fun, hands-on activities that support early childhood development, socialization, and—most importantly—connection between children and their grown-ups. 💕 ECFE is here to support and empower families while helping create positive environments where little ones can learn and thrive.


📚 Mondays | 5:00–6:30 PM

🍎 It’s not too late to join us! We’d LOVE to welcome more little Rangers and their families to our ECFE family!

✨ Register at ci.k12.mn.us

📧 Contact Early Childhood Coordinator, Kristine Booth, at kbooth@ci.k12.mn.us

📞 (218) 545-8717


Come play, connect, learn, and grow with us! 💛

We can’t wait to see you next Monday!
