Occupations & Community Helpers Unit

We are in our second week of the Occupations/Community Helpers Unit.  We have been talking about the many different occupations available and what they might want to be when they grow up.  I even talked to all of the 3s classes about being an artist.and showed everyone how to make a cup out of clay.  Later this week everyone will get to make an elbow bowl out of clay and they will also draw pictures of what they want to be when they grow up.  This is a great opportunity for you to talk to your child about your jobs.

On a different note, I want to thank all of you who attended La Noche this past weekend!  It was great seeing everyone having fun!!
