Animals All Around
How are animals the same and different?
Get ready to explore, read, and play! Children learn all the time, and your involvement is crucial. Here you will find the tools you need to support your little learner at home. Here we grow!
In the coming weeks, children will draw their favorite animals and learn about traits of different animals through books, art, and movement. You will be invited to participate as we celebrate our classroom's zoo!
Hello Families! Learn what we are talking about each week, and discover some simple activities you can do at home. Literacy is everyday practices, not just something that happens in school.
You can help! In the coming weeks, be on the look-out for volunteer requests, or contact your teacher to learn how you can participate.
Your little ones achieve new milestones each day. Notice if they say "please" when asking for something, tell a complete story, or correctly identify a shape. Celebrate these little leaps with a pat on the back and "You've learned so much!"
Animals offer many traits to compare: size, color, body parts, diet, movement, sound, and habitat, just to name a few! This month, we learn about different animals and discuss how they are the same and different.
Your commitment is the key to your little learner's success. Ready to unlock a bright future? Do these daily activities and routines at home!
