Updates on Our Learning:

• The children have been learning about family heritage and culture. As they explore traditions, customs, food, and celebrations of various countries/cultures, the children are learning to understand their own culture/family heritages and defining culture. The preschool team is planning various family holiday events to expand the understanding of family and culture.

Colder Weather = Warmer Clothes

• Please send students with jackets/sweatshirts for school. The weather turns colder over the next few weeks and we finally welcome some winter temps. We still plan to maximize our time outside. Students will be more comfortable if they wear the right attire. Thank you in advance for helping your child stay warm!
