Pre-K

WELCOME BACK!

Beginning January fifth Pre-K will begin a new unit. Our new unit is called “Animals Everywhere”. We will be learning about animals from all over the world. The unit will be broken down into three smaller themes. The first theme I Love Animals focuses on animals that we may have in our homes as pets. The second theme Animals We Know focuses on animals that we may see on a farm or at the zoo. Lastly, our third theme Animals on Land and Sea focuses on animals that we may see in ponds or oceans, as well as animals from other countries.

As you know the weather is changing very quickly. Please make sure that you dress your child appropriately each day. Also, please write their names on the inside of all of their belongings, coats, hats, mittens, scarves, etc.

We hope that everyone had a safe and wonderful holiday season!
