October 2022
Welcome to our October curriculum theme, Penny Goes to the Farm
Let's take a trip to the farm! This month's curriculum theme is Penny Goes to the Farm, where your child will use their investigation and exploration skills to learn about their natural environment and the plants and animals they'd find on the farm! Penny is teaching table manners your child can use to show gratitude for the food they have and the people who harvested and prepared it! Your child will also learn Advanced STEM-based Concepts as they discover farming technology and how it works! Exploring the world of farm-grown foods and farm animals at TLE this month is so much fun!
