Poetry Your child’s teachers will select topics and tailor learning experiences based on what their students are most interested in learning about and where they are developmentally. Most important-ly, the students will be engaged in their own learn-ing process and will be exposed to age-appropriate skills. They will choose to change in-vestigation topics weekly, biweekly, or stretch it even longer if the children remain interested in the topic.

Kind Child Character Trait Focus:

Positive Self Image and Encouragement

We will also be introducing the Signs for:

duck, frog, rain, turtle
