Our CTE/ECE high school students are learning how to write lesson/activity plans and are observing circle time to become more familiar with the activities involved.  The teachers for each period will be responsible for circle time and all students will have a hand in planning the lessons for the rest of the semester and will be creating the calendar as well.  The pre-school students will be having an action packed month in March!

Their high school buddies are planning some great literacy activities for “Love of Literacy Month”.  The subject of many of these activities is Dr. Seuss and his books.  We can’t wait to eat green eggs and ham!!
