prek 100



Pre-K 100 is learning all about different holidays during the month of December.  We read the story The Borrowed Hanukkah Latkes  by Nancy Cote. We wanted to make Latkes (potato pancakes) just like Rachel did in the story to celebrate Hanukkah.

Parent Workshop this Friday! Come for the workshop at 8:00, stay for our center time!

Dear Families,

This Friday, December 18th, before Parents as Learning Partners, the Pre-k teachers will be giving a workshop on the importance of developing fine motor skills for the 4-5-6 age group. Pre-K and K families are invited! 

Please come for our workshop at 8:00 am in room Pre-K 106, then join your child from 8:40-930 for our center time. At this time, you can play with your child in a fine motor center, or in the center of their choice, and you can see first-hand how our teachers coach students along in developing hand strength, scissor grip and control, and small object manipulation.

We hope to see you there!
