What’s happening in the
classrooms?
Due to the snow storms and home visit week
we will continue our construction theme,
math, and literacy concepts. We will work on
reading comprehension, acting out, and retelling familiar stories. In the our three year old
and four year old classes, we will work on the
concepts of more and less and making groups.
For our pre-writing skills we will work on
square, cross, and letters. We will also
celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday by reading his
stories, making hats, and cooking projects.
Please see the box below for the home-school
connection activities.
