(3+ years) Bear
Welcome to the Bear Room
Activities: The children in the Bear Room will be engaging in several exciting activities that relate to each months holidays and seasons. Marry of our activities will also include our monthly curriculum.
Supplies: To help with the exciting activities we will need your help providing supplies, so we can help the children through engaging activities. We will send out a supply list every month with items needed. We would appreciate any contributions you can make.
Daily Schedule: We have attached a daily schedule; however, as we learn more about the needs of our students, we might make changes as needed to help foster your child's growth and development.
Monthly Calendars: Each month we will send home a blank month calendar. These calendars need to be filled out with the days your child will be at the center. Calendars are important for us to plan, so please have them filled out by the 15th of the month before. For example we will need October's calendar by the 15th of September.
Show and Tell:
To encourage public speaking and social development, we have scheduled a show and tell program for each Friday. The program will start right away, so feel free to allow your child to bring items they would like to present to the class.
Mailboxes and Cubbies: Each child will be assigned a mailbox and cubby. Please make sure you check them daily for papers and projects. Many times we will put notes in the mailboxes concerning activities for the next day, so pleas make sure you check them daily. You can also check the white board right outside the room for important news for the day.
