Important Dates

Hey there, Big Bear! We are starting off this Pre-K year getting to know all about each other. We’ve practiced everyone’s names with songs and introductions, drawn pictures of our houses, and created self-portraits. We will soon start having one friend per day present their “All About Me” page and share their photos from home which we then display in the fancy golden frame!

Big Bears have learned the daily routine and have begun taking on classroom responsibilities like signing in, cleaning up, reporting the weather, marking the calendar, and being the class photographer.

Wednesday September 28: WUNS family play date 3:15-5:00 on playground. All are welcome!

Please send any map donations for art enrichment.
