We had SO MUCH FUN celebrating 100 days of learning at HCA!






We partnered with our friends in Kindergarten for some "100" themed stations.


Making your own creation with 100 shapes

Building a tower with 100 cups

Listening to a 100th day story

Painting 100 gumballs

Making our 100th Day crowns

The 100th Day projects were so impressive! The students loved sharing them with their friends.




















Pre-K is officially 100+ days smarter!

More Than Peach by Bellen Woodard



More Than Peach follows a young girl who loves to color and notices that the crayon labeled “peach” doesn’t actually match everyone’s skin. As she looks around at her family, friends, and community, she realizes people come in many beautiful shades - not just one. She begins to understand that no single color can represent all people, and she learns to celebrate differences instead of fitting everyone into the same box.

This story helps children understand and appreciate differences in a simple, age-appropriate way. It opens the door for positive conversations about skin color, identity, and inclusion, while encouraging empathy and kindness. More Than Peach reminds children that everyone is unique and valuable, helping them build confidence in who they are and respect for others.

While Miss Webb read this story to the Pre-K class, they immediately began sharing how they are all different shades and that's what makes them so special. "I'm brown and you're brown, but my brown is a little darker than yours." Some children even began comparing skin tones. The story lead to great conversations and beautiful moments in our classroom!
