Today was all about outdoor fun and hands-on learning!
From practicing our “baitcasting skills” (no fish were harmed… or caught), to creating colorful masterpieces with sidewalk chalk, our explorers stayed busy.

In honor of Arkansas Children’s Week…. Local Lead Captain Karen Garner was thrilled to share a special book with the preschool children at the Dierks ABC preschool. Garner chose a book that would teach these children the importance of STANDING TALL, SHARING A SMILE and ALWAYS DOING YOUR BEST! !! These children were so much fun and were reminded to let their light shine!!! The book chosen and shared was Stand Tall Molly Lou Melon by Patty Lovell. 🍎✏️📚❤️

The Geometry Nexus is a collaborative multi-district collective designed to bridge the gap between "covering content" and achieving Level 3 ALD proficiency. Our mission is to unite regional Geometry educators in a shared PLC to align curriculum maps with state standards, deconstruct the specific rigor required for proficiency, and co-create a live Resource Vault of high-impact supplements. By breaking down district silos and pooling our expertise, our goal is to ensure every student has access to the rigorous, standard-aligned instruction necessary to master Geometry at the highest level.

Little Explorers Day 1: Bug Adventures & Creepy Crawlers
Arkansas Children’s Week kicked off today at Oden Preschool, and what a full (and fun!) day it has been! With the help of our 4th, 5th, and 6th grade helpers, our students jumped right into learning through hands-on exploration.
We started with a “Very Hungry Caterpillar” themed feast, followed by transforming into butterflies, a bug scavenger hunt, and even some rock painting. It was a day full of movement, imagination, and lots of outdoor learning.
We are off to a great start and looking forward to all the learning and fun the rest of the week will bring!

No words for how much we miss these two precious ladies. We lost Mrs. Victoria Phillips about 3 months ago, and now we have lost her sister, Mrs. Gracie McFadden. These two worked for the Foster Grandparent Program for many years and loved and cared for so many children at Nashville Pre School. Please remember their family in prayer as well as their preschool and foster grandparent families.
De Queen ABC is kicking off Arkansas Children's Week with a concert from The Kinders!
