Welcome to Pre-K3!


September 2023


 

It has been an exciting start to the school year. The children are doing a great job of adjusting to the classroom routine. In Pre-K 3 our curriculum places emphasis on the Core skills such literacy and math, Critical thinking and Character skills. This month we will focus on the following themes: "All About Me";  "My family" ; "Apples" and "Autumn Leaves".  Home based family projects will be sent home to help reinforce the concepts that are being taught.  Thanks parents for all your help and support!.
