This week in Pathways
Dear Pathways Parents,
This short week was full of creativity and learning! We focused on words that start with the sound "L" to support the children’s phonemic awareness. The children also explored nature, creating beautiful items like bracelets and artwork. In addition, we celebrated Thanksgiving, and we want to thank you for your generous support with the potluck – it truly made the celebration special.
Next week, we’re excited to kick off Spirit Week, from December 2nd to 6th! We look forward to celebrating with the children in a fun and festive way.
🎄✨ We are also thrilled to invite you to our Early Education Center Holiday Show! ✨🎶 The children are working hard on a delightful performance that will surely bring holiday cheer.
📅 When: Friday, December 13th, at 10:00 a.m
📍 Where: Mango Tree Café ☕
👕 What to Wear: Please dress your child in Christmas colors:🎅 red, 🎄 green, and ❄️ white; for the performance. (Please modify accordingly to your class section)
👫Who is invited? Each child may bring two family members to the event.
We hope to see you there to celebrate this special moment with us. Your presence will make the event even more magical! 🎅❤️
After the show you are invited to join us for a small snack in the Pathways area. Please sign up for our potluck.
Please confirm your child’s attendance to our event by emailing your homeroom teacher before Monday Dec 2nd.

OUR PILLARS

Children at this young age thrive in a joyful, fun-filled environment where their days are filled with laughter, song, and love.
Barefoot
Children connect best with real and authentic learning experiences that are grounded in nature, family, and community.
Outdoor Mapping
Children at this young age are fascinated with nature and how the world works, so we want them to explore, discover, question, and research their world.
