School Days

Hello Rodman Families,

We hope you are having an ICE weekend! As the calendar turns to the festive month of December, our preschool is thrilled to announce the transition of our theme to the beauty and wonder of the winter and Arctic environments. Our classrooms will become a snowy haven, filled with the magic of icy landscapes, majestic Arctic animals, and the joyful spirit of winter wonder.

Our little explorers will embark on an educational journey to discover the fascinating world of the Arctic, learning about polar bears, penguins, and much more. Through engaging activities, crafts, and stories, we aim to inspire a love for the natural world while fostering knowledge about the significance of cold environments and their impact on our planet.

Friendly reminder that we have an Early Release day this Wednesday - dismissal at 11:35am.

Sincerely,

Shelley Needle, MS, BCBA, LABA

Book Highlight of the Week

"Snowballs" is a delightful children's book by Lois Ehlert that celebrates the joy and creativity of winter. The story invites readers to explore the wonders of winter and the fun of creating snow people and animals using an array of natural and found objects. Each page bursts with colorful illustrations and ideas for personalizing snow creations, making "Snowballs" a perfect book to inspire imaginative play during the winter season.
