Hello PKN

We had great teacher parents conferences on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. I enjoyed talking to you about your child's progress and also share with you the different activities and events we do in the PK classrooms. Thank you for so much dear parents coming.

This week the children are learning about letter Ff. The  students are learning to say the sound of letter Ff. They are also learning new words beginning with Ff, singing the alphabet song and tracing the letter using different materials: Play dough, oil pastel crayons,sticks...The children also enjoyed making fish out of letter f (arts and crafts).
