There is no better way to say "thank you" than a homemade card!


Don't throw away those gift boxes yet...Let your kiddos imagination run wild!


From our MBAEA family to yours...we wish you the happiest of holidays!


May you be surrounded by friends and family this holiday season.


Practice saying "open" and "thank you."


So amazing to work with in any situation!


String dry pasta on yarn and make a necklace for someone.


Stop by our Little Free Library (outside the Early Childhood entrance) and snag a book to read with your kiddo(s)!


Over the holiday break, we will post activities/projects that help support your child's growth and development. Let's start with something fun and yummy!


MBAEA offices will close at 1:30 today and reopen at 7:30 on Monday, January 6th. Happy Holidays!

A group of MBAEA SLPs are digging into implementing Story Champs with a variety of students on their caseloads. MBAEA SLPs were trained in September by Dr. Megan Kirby on Story Champs for effective oral language comprehension and oral language expression intervention for the solid building blocks of literacy. This research-based approach gives students the tools to improve their language comprehension skills which is vital for systematic literacy development in the Science of Reading that our districts are implementing in the classroom.




We love Media Academy days, an awesome way for district librarians to network and learn!
