Dear Parents,
 
We hope you are having a beautiful week. This week the children will learn everything about being little gardeners.
 
We have scheduled learning activities related to this theme to continue strengthening gross and fine motor skills, language and socio-emotional skills so children can continue learning through experiences. The week will start with our Independence Parade on Monday. Children will also enjoy discovering and exploring nature, flowers and gardening. They will also participate in a nature scavenger hunt and we will be using all our senses to find all items in the list. On Wednesday, they will enjoy sharing moments with their classmates on Camping Day.
 
Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend.
