Literacy Centers & Studio in the School

Happy February families! It's been quite chilly outside! Remember to send your child to school in warm clothing!

This month, we started literacy centers. Now that we have assessed each child for their reading level, every day students will meet in a variety of centers that support their reading including working with Ms. Rebecca, Ms. Darrell or I.

Today, we also started our Studio in the School art program. Ms. Monika, our resident artist will be coming in on certain Fridays to work with the students on art. Today, they explored different lines. They learned about straight lines, thick lines, dark/light lines, zig zag and curvy and spiky lines.

The children were excited and super engaged in their art work! I can't wait to see what they create!
