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 the trees.
 We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills. Children will explore and discover all the parts of a tree, type of trees and the care and reforestation of trees. Children will also notice the bird nests and squirrels in the trees while exploring nature in our backyard. Children will also work in art projects related to trees.
 Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.
Miss Paula & Miss Jenny
