In Pre-K we are using the Second Step Early Learning program. The purpose of this program is to help students develop their social and emotional development skills and prepare them for kindergarten through puppets, stories, music, and play. Our boy puppet's name is Sam and our girl puppet's name is Jane. I have included all of the "Home Links" that I will also send home in your child's BEAR binders every week. Using these home links will encourage your child to reflect and remember what they have learned this week.
