Marvelous Me!
What makes me special?
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 self-portraits and learn what makes them special through books, games, and songs. You will be invited to participate as we celebrate what it means to be "marvelous me."
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 can button their coat, put on their socks, or use a new word. Celebrate these little leaps with a high-five and "You're getting so big!"
From the color of their hair and what they like to do, to the languages, family, and culture that shape their world, all little learners are special. This month, we learn to appreciate each other. We are all different, but we all can be friends.
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!
