WHAT'S HAPPENING!
CURRICULUM THEME "AWESOME ANIMALS"
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
We will focus on Wildlife Animals around the World. Each week, we will study different types of animals and their habitats, where they live. The children will learn which animals live in groups or alone, what types of food the animals eat, and where the animals sleep
LEARNING GROUPS
Starting in late November, we adjusted the learning groups to offer more time for the children to be with their age group and we can focus on Kindergarten Readiness for the children graduating in June 2020 and the other groups to build more peer relationships and focus on social and emotional development in a smaller group atmosphere.
SHOW & TELL THEMES
