My Project

As we enter a new school year, it is pertinent to set the stage and display the expectations. When children experience cleanliness, they are more inclined to maintain its appearance. We strive to teach beyond the books. We educate the WHOLE CHILD.

In our classroom, we encourage students to care for their space.

Students are provided new materials to use, maintain, and demonstrate their various abilities. We are encouraging students to be mindful of germs and strengthening their skills for staying healthy. The disinfectant spray will be used daily in our high traffic areas and on our most beloved toys. The wipes are necessary to disinfect tables and chairs before and after meals. Projects are designed for families to cherish now and years to come.
