Letter "N" and Cutting Practice-- With Noodles!
The 3's class came up with a fun way of practicing both the letter "N" AND fine motor / cutting practice-- using cooked noodles!

Director's Blog, rebooted!
Hello everyone!
One of the biggest difficulties of this pandemic year for us has been finding ways to keep parents connected and involved with the things that are going on in the classroom. In the past it's been easier, since parents were in the building at drop off and pickup times-- however, since we've had to pivot to drop off/pickup outside, it's made things a little more difficult. Our teachers have done their best with using Seesaw, newsletters, etc. to give the paren
