Dear Families,
Spring is in the air and the weather is great to be outdoors. One of the most important reasons to take your children outside is to improve your child’s learning ability. While outdoors children have the opportunity to explore, ask questions, solve problems and build theories. Embrace the outdoor spirit and allow children to play in the sandbox, to feel dirt and the grass. Playing, learning and having fun outdoors helps improve children’s wellbeing and resilience, increases health through physical activity, and provides children with the opportunity to develop a life-long appreciation of the natural world.
This week is Week of the Young Child. Week of the Young Child® is a time to plan how we—as citizens of a community, of a state, and of a nation—will better meet the needs of all young children and their families. Celebrate with these fun activities that we have curated for you and your child.
This month KLRN celebrates Month of the Military Child. Please check out the wonderful resources available for military families from our friends at Sesame Street. Thank you to all of the Military Families for all you do.
KLRN & The San Antonio Brahmas are teaming up to encourage kids to read!
1st & Goal is a new program created to inspire school-aged children to read their way to a touchdown. Students who complete the program will earn one ticket to a Brahmas game and more. Teachers and Parents can help their students participate. Learn more about this innovative program at klrn.org/read. Program support from Firstmark Credit Union.
Finally, let’s not forget about Earth Day, which is celebrated on April 22. We celebrate Earth Day to continue promoting environmental awareness and to remind us that we can protect the earth in our everyday lives as well.
You can find additional resources at pbs.org/parents, a trusted PBS source.
Please reach out to us any time at education@klrn.org.
With appreciation,
KLRN Education Team
