A Note From Our Principal,
We had a wonderful month with our students and families in February and were so happy to welcome some of our students back into our building. We are counting the day until we can finally have everyone back in the building . We can’t wait to see what the next season holds for us as the weather begins to get warmer. We especially love the spring and summer months because they allow us to spend extra time outside with our students. Our teachers are busy coming up with ways to take their lessons outside as weather permits. Don’t forget that Daylight Savings Time begins on Sunday, March 11th!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Tiffany Batts

Monthly Curriculum
Infant
In our infant program, we start using baby sign language from the earliest months. Baby signs are common terms that have been modified and simplified from American Sign Language. The signs for this month are “Brother” & “Sister”. To sign the phrase “brother,” make both hands into an “L” shape. Hold one hand down by your chest and place the other hand at your forehead. Bring your top hand down to meet your lower hand. To sign the “sister,” make the same motion as “brother,” but place your one hand at your chin and the other in front of your check.
Toddlers
Art projects are creative and fun ways to develop your child’s fine motor skills. Small-muscle activities, such as painting, help your child learn to control her hand and finger movements, while developing creativity and independence.
Beginners
This month, your child will answer “what” and “where” questions, understand the concept of five, and identify the names of family members.
Intermediate
This month, your child will add together two groups of objects, learn about various forms of transportation, and understand the meaning of traffic lights.
Pre-K
This month, your child will sound out unfamiliar words independently, count by fives up to 25, and create and interpret a pie chart.
