Brrr
This week we focused on a different group of animals, polar and arctic animals. We took a journey through the snow to learn more about: Snowy owls, seals, walrus, polar bears, puffins, reindeer, penguins and more! Eudenis and I feel that most of the children are very connected to animals and we wanted to honor their curiosities and impart some information about different habitats and why certain animals like to live where it’s always hot and some where it’s always cold.
Next week, we will dive under the sea and start exploring ocean life, submarines, boats, and beaches. What is your child’s favorite ocean animal?
Art Prompts
Today I posted the first “Art prompt” and will continue to add one each day for the remainder of the school year. These will be open ended art projects that will require a small interaction on your part- whether that means ripping a piece off from a whole sheet of paper or drawing a circle or square onto the paper to prompt what comes next.
Parent Check-In
Thank you to those that were able to chat with Eudenis and I yesterday, we have a great plan in place to keep the last few weeks of learning really fun and special for the children. We really look forward to seeing their happy faces each morning and want to do everything we can to keep them engaged, learning, and joyful! I will be emailing more details very soon.
Summer Program
I am happy to answer any curriculum questions you might have about our upcoming virtual summer program - I’m really excited about venturing across the globe and learning a little bit more about the wide world around us while we are all planted firmly where we are. Reach out if I can help out in any way.
Celebrating our Pre-K Graduates
This weekend (or early next week if you're busy!), please set aside a little time to create a picture for our graduating pre-k friends. A simple "Congrats class of 2020!" with a handmade painting or drawing would be perfect. You can email me a high quality image of the drawing, or you could send the artwork directly to our 13th St location (230 West 13th St, New York, NY 10011). These will be hung up in the windows for everyone to see, and we will also make a little video showcasing the signs for anyone who isn't in the city to come by and see it. THANKS for supporting our community!
