Dear Parents
As salam Alaikum
With the beginning of third Quarter you will see a slight shift toward Kindergarten preparation. The children will have their journal writing that will need to be finished before they are able to go about their normal pre-k day.
We will also have more frequent small group reading and reflection activities.
