We are off to a .great start! I have been busy getting to know our bumblebees and structuring my program around the their needs and interests. Being small this year, each child gets lots of one-on-one instruction at their level.
To kick off our concept of "motion," we will begin by examining the world around us. The bumblebees were eager to build a town that is always in motion with change. Over the next few weeks I am anxious to see where the interests lie and the questions that come up.
I hope to see you at Back to School night this Thursday. I can better explain what we are working on and the direction I hope to lead your child in reading, writing and math. Below are a few snapshots of our first couple of weeks.
