Exciting News for Our Little Learners! We are thrilled to share some wonderful news with you! Our dedicated preschool teachers have been hard at work, taking time to enhance their skills in teaching math and counting. They’ve participated in specialized training sessions to bring even more engaging and fun learning experiences to our classrooms. Why is this important? Early math skills are crucial for child development and can set the foundation for future academic success. Our Algonquin Crew Members are now equipped with innovative strategies to make math concepts accessible and enjoyable for our young learners. By focusing on hands-on activities and interactive learning, we aim to spark curiosity and a love for numbers in your children. We can't wait to see the exciting growth our little mathematicians will make. Thank you for your continued support and for being a part of our learning community. Together, we are shaping bright futures!

Happy Tuesday Algonquin Families- This is a reminder that today is a 10:45 AM dismissal, and there are NO PM classes. Our staff will use the time this afternoon to review student learning and plan amazing math activities! It is the staff's turn to have fun learning!

Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In our journey to nurture well-rounded individuals, it is important to introduce our children to inspirational figures who have shaped our world. One such individual is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a man whose dream of equality and peace continues to inspire us all. Dr. King was a leader who believed in love and fairness for everyone, no matter what they looked like or where they came from. He taught us that we should treat others the way we want to be treated and that using our words and actions for good can make the world a better place. No school on Monday, January 20, 2025

We are focusing on our Math skills this month - here is an easy activity to try at home - Create numeral cards by writing the numerals 1–5 on notecards or small pieces of paper. Turn the cards with the numeral face down and mix them up with your child. Ask your child to turn the cards over one-by-one, name the numbers, and then line them up in the correct order. If they can name 1- 5 start with 6- 10 and keep going- the sky is the limit for Algonquin Prek Littles - No stopping us!!

Looking for ways to boost your little one's math readiness skills? Take a look at some activities to try at home...
