Meet the Teachers!
9/8/2025: Transportation is our theme this week. We will be reading some of these books. Have your child practice the animal sound and the names of all the vehicles when they are listening to Little Blue Truck 
. Be on the lookout for some cute art projects.
Feel free to send in your child's favorite vehicle to school with them on Friday for Show & Tell. Please try to send in one that is small enough to fit in their backpack.
Thank you
We're so excited about the 2025/2026 school year. We've welcomed back some of our students as well as some new faces. The year has started off smoothly. The students are so excited about learning, and have adjusted to being in school.
Some of our themes have included Back to School and All About Me. The posters that you helped your child complete are awesome. Everyone loved looking at each other's pictures.
Some upcoming themes include Pets, Transportation, Apples and Farm Animals. If you have pictures of your pets, please send them in next week so your child can share them with their classmates. Also, on Friday we will be having show and tell, so have your child bring in their favorite stuffed animal pet. 
We will be having our first Parent/Grandparent Activity on September 19, 2025. It's going to be a Fall Fest, and we have lots of fun activities planned. The AM time will be 9:15-10:00, and the PM time will be 12:15-1:00. We hope you an join us.
Let me know if you have any questions.
