Early Childhood Tip of the Week

Help us keep everyone healthy by…

Labeling e v e r y t h i n g ! Otherwise your child might drink from the wrong water bottle. And if one child is sick and the other is not, now they have shared germs!

Teachers have a lot of containers to open. Once the children have finished eating, it sometimes takes time to figure out what lid goes with what container. In addition, we might end up with jackets that we don’t know who they belong to.

Lunch Bunch Plan

‌ Lunch Bunch Plan

Starting this week, and since not every student attends LB, we will be grouping classes together so they can meet other friends, similar to the pre-Covid LB format! They will rotate to play in other classrooms and we hope this will allow us to hold planning periods for teachers during work hours.

Extracurricular Learning Opportunities

Kids on Mission: Adult Spanish Classes are almost full!

‌ Kids on Mission: Now offering adult Spanish classes on Mondays & Wednesdays!

We have just a few spots left in our adult Spanish classes! If you're interested, please go ahead and reserve your place. Check out all of the details and sign up at the link below.
