Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration
In a vibrant and culturally rich celebration, our bilingual classroom embraced Hispanic Heritage Month on Friday, October 27. Our students arrived dressed in colorful and traditional attire, showcasing the diversity and beauty of Hispanic cultures. It was a heartwarming sight to see our students coming together to celebrate our heritage and express our pride in our roots. Throughout the day, students engaged in discussions about various Hispanic traditions and customs from different countries, gaining a deeper appreciation for the rich tapestry of cultures within the Hispanic world. Laughter, learning, and camaraderie filled the air as we celebrated, uniting us all in the spirit of inclusivity and diversity. It was a day filled with fun, education, and the joy of honoring our heritage.
Dress for the Weather
Outdoor play continues throughout all the seasons at Fox Ridge, weather permitting, and is an important part of our curriculum. Classrooms go outside as long as conditions are safe to do so and the temperature, including wind-chill, is above 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Please be sure your preschooler has clothes appropriate for outdoor play daily. If weather prohibits outdoor play (e.g., raining, too cold, or hazardous conditions like ice present) classrooms use one of our indoor motor areas. If you are in need of a warmer coat for your child please contact Tricia Sabathne, Child and Family Educator, at tricia.sabathne@d303.org
