Dramatic Play: Playing school

Teacher Rais teaching with the AlphaFriends book - effective (and, in this case, most fun) way to retain/remember information is to teach it to someone else

Why we ask parents to label EVERYTHING :)

Fall is upon us, which means that children may be wearing jackets, mittens, hats, scarves, etc. at school. 

Please be sure to label anything and everything you bring to school. It is common for children to have the same, exact clothing -- often in the same size!
