The children have completed their study on clothes. For the next six weeks we will discuss various types of buildings. The students will learn the names of buildings such as a police station, post office, etc as well as the community helpers and vehicles that can be associated with each building. This will be a fun study for the children to learn and explore.
I'm asking if you can please send in pictures of your child as well as pictures of toys, games and activities they like. We will be making our own blocks that will represent each child as well as their interest. When the study is complete, I will send home the blocks. To make these blocks, we will also need empty tissue boxes. I would appreciate it if you can send one box in with your child.

I hope all of you had an enjoyable break. This month we will continue our discussion on clothing. The students will be able to identify a variety of clothes and use descriptive words to describe clothes. The students will also practice how to snap, button and zip their clothes using our self help boards. This will help promote independence in the children.
If you would like to bring in some clothes (shirts, pants, hats, etc) it would be greatly appreciated. This will allow the children to discuss and recognize the different types of clothes. Please label the articles of clothing with your children's name so they are returned to you at the end of the study.
Please remember on Monday, January 18th, school will be closed in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Pre-K program will be closed on January 28th. The teachers have a professional development day.
Thank you!
