Character Spotlight
Lionstein is our inquisitive scientist! In May, he'll lead your little learner on an ecological adventure to get to know animals and their habitats across the globe!
On the journey, Lionstein will introduce your little one to ways we can give back to the planet that gives so much to us — like recycling!
Family Connections
You can extend this month’s curriculum instruction at home! One idea is to collect child-safe recycled materials for an engaging activity with your little one — like fabric, boxes, or paper. For our littlest learners, they can explore the different textures with you, which can strengthen their fine motor skills! Older learners can help sort and recycle the items with you, boosting early math skills and reinforcing the importance of respecting nature and our environment.
