CCC PRE-K B NEWSLETTER

Dear Parents,
     Happy spring to you!  We hope you had a wonderful Easter.  Now that the weather is getting warmer the children are looking forward to spending more time outside.  Our last unit is exploration.  We will be exploring the arts, music, literature, and animals of all kinds.  We will finish up with learning about the sea.  We will continue to teach a cumulative review of the letters and numbers.  It was a pleasure getting to know you and your children.
