Home Sweet Home
Your child learns best in the comfortable surroundings and everyday activities of home. So we'll use this nurturing theme to turn our classroom into a pretend house. In your Home Kit read together the story about the different kinds of houses animals make - from spider webs to bird's nests. When you find these homes in your very own backyard, you reinforce the learning that's happening in class. Home kit: Home CD and magazine-style Family Guide (Includes the class story "A House is a House for Me".)
