Daniel Feeney Preschool Update

Hello DFP Families,

Spring is in the air at DFP and students are growing their skills. We continue to work on readiness and indepedence skills: following directions, listening to an interactive read aloud, waiting a turn during a game, playing cooperatively, interacting with peers, and managing our feelings - a very important part of preschool learning! The article below descibes how you can support your child's learning at home.

Our Carnival last weekend was a success, thank you all for your support. We raised just over $1,500 for the preschool. These funds will go towards enrichment activities to enhance the learning of all students.

Enjoy the (rainy?) weekend ahead, see you on Monday.

Warm regards,

Julie
