NOVEMBER 2008

 

Dear Parents,

 

Once again we have another exciting month ahead of us! I would like to start out by wishing everyone a “Happy Thanksgiving”! It is just right around the corner! I have included our curriculum goals for this month as well as some very important learning center information for all parents. Please make sure to read the newsletter from beginning to end.

Listed are a few skills we will be working on & learning! All parents are encouraged to work on these skills at home! The more encouragement & practice a child has the greater their chances at success! We will be learning about “zoo animals” this month as well as still reinforcing our basic school knowledge (numbers, letters, etc) in both age groups. (Learning will be appropriately suited for each individual age group.)
