Learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, they should embark together on a journey down the water. Through an active, reciprocal exchange, teaching can strengthen learning how to learn.

Emergent literacy and fine motor skill building happens in all sorts of ways. One example of this is that we love adding letter beads to our bracelets and necklaces.
Our winter family surprises turned out beautifully, with the child's personality shining through in each one! The group painted picture frames, framing their self portraits. They added clay snowflakes to add texture to the frames. It all went home in a hand painted gift bag with our collaborative class winter card. We're so proud of all of the work and time each child spent making these special memories for their family.
