EARLY CHILDHOOD
LITTLE WILDCATS PRESCHOOL, READY FOR KINDERGARTEN, ECFE CLASSES
|
On behalf of our Early Childhood staff, I want to say thank you for your patience, understanding and words of encouragement you have shared during this unprecedented time.
As a District we are dedicated to providing early education to our families through the rest of the school year in whatever way it can be delivered. Our staff have used the last week to learn new technology skills and collaborate on the best way to continue providing education and a classroom community to you and your children. We know the most important pieces are the relationships you all have developed.
Starting March 30 - May 4, you will receive weekly email communication from your child’s teacher. This communication will include activities intentionally planned to highlight the importance of learning through play and everyday activities which are tied to Minnesota’s Early Learning Standards. We hope you will enjoy these activities and the ability to stay connected to your child’s teacher and class. I am proud of the hard work and creativity our staff has put in to adjust early learning in new and creative ways. We are committed to keeping and paying our dedicated staff.
I will also be creating a weekly chart of ideas for families to do at home with your young children. This will be emailed out on Mondays.
