Dear Early Learners Families,

Please keep reading to see what exciting things happened in our classrooms this week.
Have a great weekend,

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN EARLY LEARNERS?
This week our Early learners began our Winter themed unit. The timing couldn’t be more perfect as this week was full of snow and cold weather to perfectly exemplify the traits of the winter season. The students enjoyed exploring winter-themed activities such as fake snow, indoor ice skating, and building pretend snowmen in dramatic play. We also celebrated World Read Aloud Day this week, getting to hear stories read to us by the various authors who wrote them. The students used this as an opportunity to practice their questioning skills, asking the authors about their jobs and the process of writing books.
SPEECH WITH MISS NATHANSON
This week in speech group, we played winter themed bingo. While playing the game, the students answered wh-questions about winter. We worked on expanding vocabulary around winter themed topics. The kids had so much fun!
