VPK

This month’s theme was all about me. We talked about ourselves, families, friends and our feelings. We went over sight words as well as letters, shapes, numbers and colors. We learned that it is ok to express our feelings and talk about how we feel. Our letter this month was “Ff”. We had a great time visiting MOSH and creating Friendship salads. We are looking forward to another month of learning.
