Learning While At Home
Even though we can’t gather in person right now, there is still so much learning and sharing taking place within our preschool community!
A free collection of learning experiences and activities for kids, organized by grade band and subject.

Handwriting Without Tears
(for the 4 year old class)
Signup for the PreKitt (free for 90 days), go to page 63 in the digital guide, and click on the smiley face located on the side. You’ll find the lines and curves we use to make all of the capital letters. You can print them out, cut them out and then challenge your child to use them to create the whole alphabet. On page 67 of the virtual workbook, click on the smiley face to view a guide for how all the letters can be formed with the lines and curves. *One thing to note is that J and U cannot be made with the lines and curves by themselves.
