Dear Families,

Next week we are beginning a new them in our classroom, “Animals”. Children will learn that mammals are a special kind of animal that breathes air, has a backbone, grows hair, and is warm-blooded. Mammals also feed their young with milk from the mother. Children will consider these characteristics to reach the conclusion that they are mammals, too!

Next week’s Family Connections activities can be found at:
https://portal2.frogstreet.com/wp-content/uploads/prek2/familyconn/ENG-FC-T8-W1.pdf

Next week’s storybook, “I am a Mammal” can be found at: https://portal2.frogstreet.com/ebook/?bookname=FS20088_I-Am-a-Mammal_eBook.

We’re so excited to continue learning with your little one!
