Hello everyone,

This week in preschool we jumped into our new study on exercise. We're off to a great start in learning about all the ways we can move our body to stay healthy. Mrs. Kat is leading our class in a few minutes of yoga first thing in the morning, and we all enjoy starting our day off with some stretches. If you snap a picture of your child doing something they love (swimming, running, dancing, climbing, etc.) we'd love to display it on our classroom bulletin board!

Next week we'll continue our learning and also enjoy some festive activities with a spirit week before heading into Winter Break. Please see below for what to wear Monday-Thursday and important upcoming dates. We're excited to have great week!
