This week in Pathways
Dear families,
We have had an amazing week of acquiring independent skills, such as practicing putting on our shirts, making paper airplanes to strengthen our fingers and mud exploration in Music & Movement. These practices are enhancing our flexibility and communication, and their fine motor development.
At home, ask about our latest tongue twister and play Sound Basket, looking for objects that start with M and L, remember we use the letter sound not the letter name.
Please keep in mind the following important dates:
- October 25th - Fall Festival
- October 31st - Halloween celebration. Students can come in costumes
- November 13th - Conferences. No school for students.
