What we are learning

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a beautiful week. This month our theme is “The Plants”. This coming week we will learn everything about planting a plant and germination.

We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Children will continue to discover all about the wonderful world of plants particularly flowers and trees by looking at flashcards.  They will also participate in a play, we will be dressed up with costumes and look at the mirror so we can identify our parts of the face.

Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.

Miss Claudia, Miss Rosa & Miss Eliana

Year-Round Activities

Student of the Week

This week our student of the week is Sullivan Sweetman.

As you know, every week a child is given a set week that he/she are the student of the week. On Monday of their week the student of the week should bring a poster and a book created with family pictures, favorite books, sports/hobbies, animals or anything they are interested in. On their week, parents and the student of the week may pick a day to present the poster and the book to the class. The student of the week may also bring favorite toys and books to school so they can share with classmates.

The kids totally LOVE being student of the week and feel good about themselves. Please do not forget to sign up your child for this amazing activity!
