From the Director

Dear WECC Families,

Happy New Year!!!  We are excited to return to school and will start our third curriculum unit on January 5th! In this unit, called Wind & Water, children engage in a multi-dimensional study of weather and its impact on humans and animals. This provides a lens for conducting research, exploring scientific concepts, and representing ideas and understandings in multiple ways. 

The Big Ideas explored include:

• Weather affects living things. 
• Living things respond in different ways to different kinds of weather. 
• Weather can inspire artistic expression and provide opportunities for recreation. 
• Living things often depend on each other for shelter and protection. 
• Gathering information helps us make decisions.

We also invite you to join us on January 16th for informal discussions on a variety of topics. Look for the sign up information to come from your child's teacher! Lastly, we will also issue your child's first report card this month!

Take Care,

Michele Palermo

Early Childhood Director
