Our new theme is called \u201cCommunity Helpers,\u201d Our centers will transform into places that make a community work like the post office, town hall, library, and school just to name a few. By this time in the year, the students will begin to visit other centers.

The purpose of the activity is to increase the children\u2019s ability to attend to small details while observing. It also focuses on building various descriptive vocabulary words such as color words, texture words, shapes, and positional vocabulary. Our \u201cScience Eyes\u201d in the next few months will focus on collections of materials for children to also practice observing similarities and differences. We even get to use the snow! Science Eyes will also expand to include science experiments that work on making predictions, collecting data, and analyzing data. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1333\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/3129948270772390211-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/3129948270772390211-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/3129948270772390211-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/3129948270772390211-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/3129948270772390211.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1336\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/9002279789256337608-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/9002279789256337608-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/9002279789256337608-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/9002279789256337608.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1337\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/6259166223960735133-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/6259166223960735133-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/6259166223960735133-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/6259166223960735133.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1338\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/1176132455963302236-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/1176132455963302236-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/1176132455963302236-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/1176132455963302236.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1339\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/5092114945302833624-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/5092114945302833624-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/5092114945302833624-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.brickschools.org\/hecdc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/5092114945302833624.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our theme is changing again!
