Throughout the year, many events come up requiring us to be flexible in the lesson plans. This list is a guide and can be adjusted whenever it’s in the best interest of the education of our preschoolers. It’s printed here to give ideas of where you can contribute items, ideas and be connected to your child’s learning activities. Please know that I am open to your suggestions and will gladly give parents freedom to be involved in a variety of ways. Children need structure along with flexibility, so I ask that you see me to plan for a special occasion.
