Birthday Slip
Dear Pathways Parents,
As we head into the holiday break, our students have been exploring, discovering, and learning in exciting ways! Through stories, songs, interactive activities, and creative projects, they’ve been growing their language, phonological awareness, and curiosity.
We encourage our Tigers to keep noticing, asking questions, and exploring at home during the break. These small moments of wonder can be both joyful and rewarding.
We are also sending home a Reading Bingo for your child. This fun activity encourages reading at home and sparks imagination and conversation.

Learning Goal
Which words will you spot on your bingo card?
Children will explore their Reading Bingo cards by looking at the pictures. They will practice saying the words aloud and using gestures to show they recognize them, building language and phonological awareness.
Children can create their own Reading Bingo cards using words or objects from around the house and invent gestures for each one. They can play the Bingo game with their family, teaching the words and gestures they’ve learned, sparking conversation, curiosity, and playful learning.
Learning Goal
El misterio de las figuras
Los niños explorarán la escuela con una lupa roja para encontrar figuras geométricas escondidas. Identificarán, nombrarán y clasificarán las figuras, usando palabras y gestos para expresarse.
Los niños pueden crear su propio juego de figuras usando objetos de la casa, escondiéndolas y clasificándolas, para seguir practicando el reconocimiento de figuras de manera divertida.
Learning Goal
What patterns can you make on your tree?
Children will create tree-like figures using sticks, pipe cleaners, and beads or buttons. They will explore patterns, counting, and symmetry by placing beads on their trees and noticing sequences and quantities.
Children can make their own trees using sticks or other materials, adding beads, buttons, or household items to create patterns. Families can ask questions like, “How many items do you have?” or “Can you make a repeating pattern?” to extend learning in a fun way.
Learning Goal
How can Indi follow my pattern?
Children will create color-coded paths for Indi, a robot, to follow. They explore sequencing, patterns, and cause-and-effect as they choose colors and watch Indi move along their paths.
Children can make a pattern using things they find around the house—blocks, spoons, or toys—and practice repeating the sequence with a family member.
Learning Goal
What can I say to speak up kindly?
This week, the Tigers will practice speaking up for themselves and for others, learning how to express their thoughts and feelings confidently and respectfully while supporting their friends and advocating for themselves in different situations.
Friends and learners could practice at home by role-playing different situations, taking turns expressing their ideas, and noticing ways to stand up for themselves and help others in kind and respectful ways.

Children at this young age thrive in a joyful, fun-filled environment where their days are filled with laughter, song, and love.
Children connect best with real and authentic learning experiences that are grounded in nature, family, and community.
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.
