Turtle Times
Mary Kay McNeill Early Learning Center
As fall is upon us, I hope you and your family have had the opportunity to spend time outside enjoying the warm days and cool nights.
Our students are coming to the end of the Ball Unit and it has been a pleasure watching them explore and learn about the different types, what they are made of, comparing shapes and sizes, and using them to engage in a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. As our seasons begin to change, the children will soon be learning about Fall and trees. It is the perfect time of year to begin exploring these themes and I hope that our students are as excited as we are!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas through the Thought Exchange that was shared in our previous newsletter. From you feedback, we learned that many of you are concerned about your child's social and emotional well-being. Our ELC team of teachers, related service providers, and staff brainstormed ideas on how to address these concerns and are currently working on an action plan to improve our practices so that we can best meet the needs of our students. Our action plan will include additional social and emotional learning and supports provided by our PBIS Team (Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports) and modifying some of our current teaching practices during our virtual class times to include the use of breakout rooms to increase the opportunities children have to share thoughts and ideas with their classmates.
Below you will find our parent interest survey. Please take some time to complete this survey as it helps us plan and develop future educational opportunities for parents. You will also find a virtual tour of our school to share with your child.
