November 2021
Welcome to our November curriculum theme, Happy Happenings
This month’s curriculum theme is designed to boost our little learners’ social-emotional skills and confidence as they use their five senses to discover the world around them. Throughout the month, children will discover assistive technology such as braille, cochlear implants, and hearing aids to foster their appreciation for diversity. Classroom STEM activities will inspire children to make predictions, gather data, and participate in sensory explorations. These cross-curricular activities integrate all aspects of STEM by allowing the children to freely explore the natural and physical world around them.
