June 11, 2024

About This Month’s Unit:

Students will love Classroom Community because it’s filled with fun and engaging activities to help children get to know each other, celebrate their unique qualities, and learn the importance of kindness and respect.

They’ll enjoy reading exciting stories, creating crafts like slime and PB&J sandwiches, and participating in interactive projects like the “All About Me” FlipBook and the “Green Pennies” science experiment.

With hands-on centers and activities tailored to their interests and abilities, every student will find something to enjoy and look forward to each week, making learning both enjoyable and meaningful.
