Dear Abejitas Parents,

Happy New Year!

It’s such a pleasure seeing everyone achieve so many milestones! In this upcoming week, we will create our Valentine’s day art, explore the world around us using our five senses, and engage in everyday learning through play. We will be strengthening our fine and gross motor skills using a ball, the slide, and our classroom toys. Please remember to dress in red for our Valentine’s day celebration! We will use our sensory bottles to participate in the science fair.

Thank you for letting us play such an important role in your child’s life and we hope you have a great weekend. Have a great weekend and stay warm!
