Flowers and Gardens
Focused language skills this month will include patterns and vocabulary including opposites, placement words, rhymes and personal and standard sight words. In the area of math, children will be working with money and on number recognition. Children will become more aware of themselves as they work on recognizing and naming body parts and becoming more independent in dressing themselves from putting on their own shoes and socks to buttoning and zipping their coats. To develop both fine and gross motor skills, children will work with puzzles and balls.
Daily activities and updates are sent directly to parents through our ProCare app.
