Blast Off to the Sky!

We are so very excited to begin our Outer Space thematic unit this week! Woohoo!  Our students always enjoy learning with a focus on all things "Outer Space".  We enjoy counting up and down for every blasting off moment in the classroom.    We will also be learning about ways we can move and maneuver our bodies.  We will explore transportation "toys" such as tricylces, wagons and, of course, rockets!   Students truly love exploring in the Dramatic Play center with all the technology gadgets provided for their imaginative play.   


In order to provide an amazing dramatic play center, we are asking for the following items to be donated if possible. 

Thank you for your support!
