School Routine
The children are beginning to understand our class schedule and routines! The children have been introduced and participated in many new school activities including:
"Mystery Question", Science Eyes, Story Labs, Graphics Practice, Buddy Reading, Share the News, and Freeze Dance. Each month our activities will grow and gain in difficulty level to continue to support the development of your child!
Consistency and routine are key in your child's development. Thank you for your continued support in striving for perfect attendance and having your child arrive to school by 8:50 (or 8:40 if they eat breakfast with us).

Bedtime Routine
Getting into the school year routine can be tricky especially after a summer of fun, vacations, day trips, and family visits! To support your child's success in school, please ensure your child is getting at least 11 hours of sleep each night. For more information about the importance of sleep, visit this link on Encouraging Healthy Sleep Habits!

Family Study
As the school year began, our class demonstrated excitement in sharing information about their families, making picture frames for our dramatic play center to display family photos, and taking on the roles of various family members in play!
Take a peek below at some of the fun we've had in each center! Please note, if you don't see your child below, it is because we do not have your permission to share outside of classroom use. If you would like to change this, please see Miss Sammy or Miss Lisa!
