Early Learners Highlights!
March 24, 2023
Dear Early Learners Families,
We hope you all have a wonderful spring break filled with family and fun, and look forward to seeing you when we return on Monday, April 3rd. Upon our return, we will be sharing more information about our Pre-K music concert and our Family Event scheduled for 4/19 (no school this day for Early Learners).
In addition, please join us for the South Park Spectacular on Thursday, April 20th from 4:00-6:00 pm. This is the only event of its kind where all certified teachers and staff stay at school for the evening while students and families come to visit.
We ask families to adhere to their time slots. This ensures that classrooms are not overcrowded, giving students full access to their teachers and the activities during their visit.
When not visiting grade-level classrooms, families will be invited to participate in an interactive scavenger hunt to spend time exploring our school, interacting with other staff, and enjoying a shared experience as a family.
We look forward to welcoming all of our South Park families to school on April 20th!
Take care,
Marcia
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN EARLY LEARNERS?
Happy spring break! We had the best time on our class trips to Mexico! Students got to experience a virtual airplane ride with snacks + a movie. They even had to go through security and show their boarding pass and passports! While in Mexico, students went swimming, saw pyramids, and experienced the culture with different clothing, food, and music. The students took part in decorating the classroom and guiding their learning as we got ready for this trip. We hope you have a great week off and spend some relaxing time with your kids. If you are going on a trip, safe travels! We are looking forward to seeing your kids in April for the last part of our school year.
Speech with Ms. Nathanson
This week in speech group, to prepare for our trip to Mexico, we explored vocabulary around the theme of beach items and activities. The students identified different beach objects based on the function that was provided to them. We also learned about opposites and the students did a great job!
