Hello Parents!
This is a great season for outside play, and for reading!
If your child only spends a little time with reading and writing, that is ok. Even a little work every day makes a big difference!
We’ve been reaching out but have not connected with a few of you. If you have not yet spoken with myself or someone else from Neighborhood House about your Fall plans for school, please do so. We are in the process of making class lists and don’t want to miss any child!
Happy Learning!
