Our Great Community

Independence is such a wonderful community and these week we are learning about community helpers.  We have talked about bakers, policemen, farmers, firemen, nurses & doctors, mailmen, teachers (of course), and many more.  Ask your child what they want to be when they grow up.....their responses are great!

Our letter of the week is letter Oo for officer.  We continued our exploration of coins and focused on the nickel this week.  The PM class started working on some simple addition using counters and the AM class is working on classifying or sorting objects into groups.

Now that the warmer weather has finally arrived, we hope to get outside and enjoy some sunshine too!
