  • Hello Families!  Today was another assessment day in preschool.  Meeting with each and every preschooler means that I can assess each and every academic need.  We did not meet in small groups today, however, it was an excellent opportunity to revisit classroom routine & procedures, while becoming better acquainted with the centers.   Thank you for your patience!

  • Assessments

    Assessments have begun!  Because of this, we did not have small groups today.  The children enjoyed spending time working in centers, reviewing routines and having some great outdoor time.
