Please see the attached calendars for everything happening at the Heart of Isaac in the month of May.
In addition to our butterflies, we found another insect visitor in our garden!! Another highlight of each day is going out to the garden to harvest and check on our fruits and veggies. Our tomato plants have been thriving, and our students were so surprised to see our corn crops sprout up this week!
Spring time is an exciting time at the Bret Tarver Isaac Preschool because it means many classrooms receive caterpillars. Room 10 received caterpillars several weeks ago, and the children have gotten to observe and document in their journals, the caterpillars grow, form chrysalises, and emerge as butterflies. The students in room 10 have loved having these creatures as visitors in the classroom, and spend much of their time during free play simply watching them and discussing what they see with their friends.

One of our latest harvests from our garden! We were finally able to harvest our carrots, lettuce, broccoli, cilantro, chives, and oregano. If you are interested in receiving any goodies from our garden, please leave a comment on this post =)
Now that the frost is over, now is the perfect time to be out in the garden. Last week, Bret Tarver added worms to our garden. This week, we let the kids dig to try to find them. If you've been thinking about starting a small garden, or some potted plants at your house, why not start this weekend?? Let your child help in the process, so your whole family can enjoy the garden and feel invested. Some ideas of plants that do well in the spring in Arizona are Dill, Cilantro, Watermelon, Summer Squash, Spinach, Scallions, Radishes, Peas, Peanuts, Okra, Melons, Cucumbers, corn, Carrots, Cantaloupe, and Beans.
At Isaac School District, we know and value the importance of individuals’ well-being.

Our garden is still thriving!! We were finally able to harvest our first broccoli and cauliflower this week! Cucumber and corn has been planted to get our spring garden ready!! What is your preschooler's favorite vegetable?
We're going to try something new. If you have been following Bret Tarver, you know that we have a beautiful garden on our campus now. The frost was hard on our plants, but some are finally starting to come back. This morning we harvested romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, oregano, and chives. There are two bags of these fresh veggies and herbs in the Bret Tarver office. The first two parents to arrive at the office and say "I would like a bag from your garden" will receive a bag from our harvest! We can't wait to see who shows up!!
Vamos a probar algo nuevo. Si ha estado siguiendo a Bret Tarver, sabe que ahora tenemos un hermoso jardín en nuestro campo. El frio fue muy duro para nuestras plantas, pero algunas finalmente están comenzando a regresar. Esta mañana cosechamos lechuga romana, tomates cherry, cilantro, orégano y cebollin. Hay dos bolsas de estas verduras y hierbas frescas en la oficina de Bret Tarver. ¡Los dos primeros padres que lleguen a la oficina y digan "Me gustaría una bolsa de su jardín" recibirán una bolsa de nuestra cosecha! ¡¡Nosotras estamos emocionadas de ver quien viene.!
The moment you've all been waiting for. Pictures of the progress on our newly remodeled staff lounge. A room with one soul purpose to be utilized by all Bret Tarver staff. Let us know what you think!!
Here at Bret Tarver Preschool, we are all about wellness. This does not just include physical wellness and health, but mental wellness and health as well. For many years, our teacher's lounge has served many purposes, such as teacher workroom, curriculum storage, toy storage, etc. Mental wellness for teachers, means having a space to go to relax and unwind, even if it's only for 30 minutes. Over the last couple weeks, majority of the staff has helped in some way to organize, paint, design, and reimagine our staff lounge. The pictures will give you a "before" version of our old lounge room. We are putting on the finishing touches, and cannot wait to reveal out new staff lounge to you next week. A huge thank you to all of the Bret Tarver staff who helped with this process!
Isaac Families, In Isaac Schools, our first priority is the safety and well-being of our students and staff. Please read the following letter regarding a safety update: https://5il.co/13adp
We encourage our community to be vigilant in reporting any suspicious activity and to always keep school safety in mind.
Exciting news!! The Bret Tarver Isaac Preschool has had their first mini harvest from our new garden. Romaine lettuce, two serrano peppers, a jalepeno pepper, two cherry tomatoes, and two radishes. We hope there will be a BIG harvest right after winter break!!
