Earth, Moon, and Sky
What do we see in the world around us?
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 prepare a treasure hunt and learn about Earth and space through books, songs, and models. You will be invited to participate as we celebrate Earth, space, and a year of learning.
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 sort objects in a meaningful way, choose a book on their own, or follow directions. Celebrate little leaps with a hug and "You did it!"
What is the ground made of? Why is the sky blue? Where does the moon go during the day? Your little learners have many questions about the world around them! This month, we learn about our corner of the universe as we prepare to blast off to kindergarten.
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!
