Dear Parents and Caregivers, February brings the exploration of Valentine’s Day; and learning all about Community Helpers. This month, we will have “Mystery Guests” from the community, such as the Boardman Township Road Department. The children will interview our classroom visitors and ask them about their job. If you would like to volunteer, please let me know. Thank you so much for your consideration. The students are doing wonderful with their opposites and rhyming words.

Dear Parents and Caregivers, The month of January brought us a lot of indoor fun! The children enjoyed making cheerio rings and filling orange peels with birdseed for our recycled Christmas tree to feed the birds. We also enjoyed the book The Mitten by Jan Brett. We painted with mittens and used gloves to see how many “animals” (animal crackers) we could fit into the glove. This helped with our math skills and charting the results was really fun for them. A fun day was when

Dear Families, January has come and gone! We had a very enjoyable month learning all about Arctic animals. We discovered how these animals stay warm in freezing temperatures by conducting our blubber experiment. We learned many intriguing facts about each animal and how they survive in the cold. The children really were fascinated about how these animals move and sound!! They loved getting the opportunity to act out each animal during gross motor time!! It's already February

We had so much fun learning about and discovering arctic animals, hibernation and going on our daily bear hunt! This month we will be learning about our “Communi

Dear Parents: It’s time for another update on what’s going on in the Infant/Toddler room. As February arrives, we are hoping that the worst of the winter weather is over. However, don’t forget that as long as the cooler temperatures are with us, let’s dress our little ones warm. Don’t forget to leave a change of clothes, as accidents and spills will happen. We need everything from undershirts to socks, especially for those toddlers who are potty training! Looking ahead, w

We’re kicking off the New Year with lots of fun and learning. We will be learning about penguins and their environments, as well as Martin Luther King Jr. We will also discuss the winter weather around, such as frost (how and when it appears).
