Hello Preschool Parents,
It is hard to believe that the semester is already half way over! We have had
a busy, but fun semester! We traveled to the University Bookstore for a
Dr. Seuss Birthday Party and read books with the provost of the university,
Dr. Barnhart. While we have been having fun, we have been working hard on
counting syllables, creating patterns, following two-step directions, learning
the concept of “more or less” attributes, and handwriting skills. Below are
some important features from the past few weeks and upcoming reminders!
