What we are learning?

Dear Parents,

We hope you are having a beautiful week. This week the children will learn everything about being little readers. Children will understand the importance of books and reading. 

We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills so children can continue learning through experiences.

Children will enjoy discovering and exploring stories through listening and reading. They will also enjoy some outdoor fun during our Splash days and cherish some fun times during Pajama Day with their classmates. Children will also continue working with different textures, play with bubbles and do crafts. On Friday they will participate in a costume parade. It will be a fun week!

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