📣 MONDAY ROUNDUP!
Another week of busy hands, curious minds and plenty of Critchlow fun! From taste tests and apple volcanoes to friendship bracelets and fall creations, our kids packed a LOT into one week. 🍎🍂🎨

📕 School Age Site
It was all about “Me and My Family” as our kids celebrated the families, cultures and backgrounds that make each of us special! They also put their five senses to work with sweet, sour and salty taste tests, homemade fluff dip and some hands-on science experiments. 👃👀👅🔬

📙 St. Michaels SIte
¡Vamos a celebrar! 🎉 We welcomed Mrs. Roxana Rodriguez, who is helping us celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month and learn about the rich cultures, histories and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. The fun continued with playdough creations and a colorful welcome to fall through art, music and color mixing! 🍂🎶🎨

📘 White Marsh Site
Teamwork made the magic happen at White Marsh! Our little scientists experimented with knocking down cups, watched an apple volcano erupt 🍎🌋 and made Play-Doh from scratch—measuring, mixing, taking turns and following directions along the way. Add in outdoor exploration and fall crafts, and it was one busy week!

📒 Cordova Site
Our preschoolers went on a nature walk to collect treasures for some very creative self-portraits, while school-agers explored what it means to be a good friend through games, friendship bracelets and necklaces. 🌿🧡

Another week of learning, exploring, creating and growing together—with just the right amount of Critchlow shenanigans mixed in! 💚💙💛

See you next Monday for more!

What a wonderful evening of friends, fun and all things Critchlow!

A huge thank you to Drew and Cherie Carroll for hosting such a fabulous Friendraiser at Spiralis Gallery. Surrounded by spectacular art, we loved catching up with longtime friends, making new ones, and sharing plenty of lively conversation about Critchlow Adkins and the children and families we serve.

We're so grateful to Drew and Cherie for being such ardent Critchlow supporters-and for their wonderful commitment to lifting up children, families and our entire community.

We’re moving our Weekly Roundup to Mondays so we can share a whole week’s worth of learning, laughter, and creativity! Our kids are officially in the school-year groove, and last week was a good one! 🌟

📕 School Age Site
It was all about FRIENDSHIP! ❤️ Our school-agers practiced kindness, sharing, teamwork, and encouragement through board games, friendship art, partner projects—and even a little mac-n-cheese making. Because nothing says teamwork quite like cheesy noodles! 🧀😋

📗 Preschool Site
Our littlest learners discovered what makes a happy classroom—learning the rules, why they matter, and how we all help take care of one another. After reading "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds, they celebrated Happy Dot Day with colorful collages made from buttons, pom-poms, and beads. Tiny dots, BIG creativity! 🎨🔴🟡🔵

📘 White Marsh Site
Fall was in the air! 🍎🍂 School-agers sampled apples and dipping sauces, with caramel taking the crown—no big surprise there! They also soaked up the gorgeous weather with plenty of outdoor fun and fall art.

Preschoolers celebrated what makes each of them wonderfully unique, dug for bugs, tackled laundry in dramatic play, built towers, and transformed the outdoor mud kitchen into a campsite serving some VERY imaginative “natural” cuisine. 🌱🐛🏕️

📙 St. Michaels Site
Tasty Tuesday served up counting—with a side of blueberries and raspberries! Kids created fruity faces on rice cakes…and then promptly gobbled up their math lesson. 😋🫐

Our 2s explored the letter N—Name, Number, Nest, Night and Nice—while school-agers learned about woodpeckers, opened a bustling pretend Donut Shop, and finished things off with some fabulous zebra-inspired Jungle Art. 🐦🍩🦓

📒Cordova Site
Preschoolers measured, mixed and took turns making play dough, while our school-agers explored the world of feelings. Then Ms. Carrie arrived with a baby snapping turtle for a very special Critchlow show-and-tell! 🐢. One of the students even got to take it home to let it go in her pond!

And outside…drumroll please! 🥁 The new preschool play area is officially COMPLETE! New turf, new fence, new shade structure—and lots of happy little feet ready to put it all to good use! 💚🏟

See you next Monday for another helping of Critchlow Kids, classroom adventures and good old-fashioned shenanigans! 💙💚💛

Our students are having a blast getting into the swing of the new school year! Check out some of the highlights in our Weekly Round Up below:

📕 School Age Site Highlights

It has been a great couple of weeks of learning, fun, and friendship! Students have focused on getting to know one another and identifying feelings. They also enjoyed making tasty treats and creating crafts with new and old friends! 🤝😀👩‍🍳

📗 Preschool Highlights

Our littlest learners mixed colors to create their favorite color, brought in their favorite things for show and tell, and built a tower to see how tall they are. During outside play time, they discovered a spotted lantern fly and a mushroom! 🎨🔍🍄

📘 White Marsh Site Highlights

The learning continued after school as our school age friends discussed what makes something living vs. non-living, using the example of goldfish crackers vs. living goldfish. 🐟

The preschool class crafted watercolor sun catchers, practiced the letters in their names and counted numbers on their hands and toes. 🔠

And of course, everyone spent lots of time playing, learning, and exploring outside! 🛝

📙 St. Michaels Site Highlights

It was “Let’s Get ARTSY” week, and our students showed off their creativity with scribble art, mosaics, and feather and pom pom painting. While learning about the parts of the body, our two-year-olds made people out of construction paper, guessed each other’s identities by looking at photos of each other’s eyes, and even painted trees using their fingers and toes! 🖼👀👣

We already can’t wait to see what adventures await in the week ahead! Have a wonderful weekend, and we’ll meet you back here next week for more fun with friends!
