The Magic of Learning at Stonebridge Academy Lucas was a curious boy who loved asking questions. “Why is the sky blue?” “How do birds fly?” “Where do clouds come from?” His parents knew he had a big imagination, but sometimes, his questions left them stumped. So, when it was time for Lucas to start preschool at Stonebridge Academy in McKinney, TX, they were excited to see how his questions would be answered in the classroom. On his first day, Lucas was greeted by Ms. Emily, his new teacher, who had a warm smile and eyes that sparkled with excitement. “Welcome, Lucas! “We’re going to have so much fun learning together,” she said, showing him a colorful chart filled with pictures of animals, plants, and stars. During circle time, Ms. Emily asked the class, “What’s your favorite thing to learn about?” Lucas’s hand shot up. “Why do birds fly?” he asked, his eyes wide with curiosity. Ms. Emily smiled and said, “Great question, Lucas! Let’s explore that today.” She gathered the class around a window, where they watched birds fluttering in the sky. “Birds have special wings that help them lift into the air. Their feathers help them glide and dream. Would you like to make your own flying bird today?” Lucas’s face lit up as he worked with his classmates, crafting colorful paper birds. As they played, Lucas felt the joy of discovering answers to his questions—and more importantly, he realized that at Stonebridge Academy, learning was an adventure that never ended. By the time Lucas went home that day, he had a new bird to show his parents and many more questions in his mind, eager to be answered the next day. At Stonebridge Academy, Lucas had found a place where his curiosity was not just welcomed, but encouraged. Every day was a new opportunity to learn and grow.
