Pre-K
Our final theme is “Moving On”. Children will be getting ready for kindergarten. We will look back on the year to celebrate children’s accomplishments. We will also talk about new experiences, especially going to new places for the very first time. The class will focus on how it takes persistence to be successful. This will encourage children to finish the school year by remembering to always try their hardest.
