LITTLE LEARNERS PRESCHOOL
We have been very busy learning about the 4 seasons and 5 senses. We had great fun at our Valentine parties and enjoyed all the games and crafts. The 4 year old class is busy learning star words and putting sounds together to sound out small words with all we have learned through the Sunform Alphabet System. We will be enjoying many Dr. Seuss stories and activities in March. In April we will watch caterpillars emerge into butterflies right before our very eyes. We also look forward to visits from the Mad Scientist, the Warren-Newport Library Bookmobile, and our music teacher, Bill LeClair.
