Happy New Year!!  We hope you all enjoyed your holiday and time off spent with family and friends.  We are all ready to start a new year of fun and learning in our Pre-K!

Our students learned so much about clothes during our last study.  We also enjoyed all our Holiday activities, lessons and especially creating our Gingerbread houses. We are excited to be starting a new study this week where we will be learning all new vocabulary and skills through lessons and activities focusing on Buildings! Towards the end of this month, we will also begin focusing on our mini-study of Pets.
