What's Happening at Discovery Center This Month
This month we have lots of exciting fun planned! We are beginning the month learning about Community Helpers and the importance of these people in our lives. Also this month, we are celebrating Veterans Day and honoring those who have served in the Armed Forces and protected our country. As we close out November, we are spending time learning about the history of our country, gratefulness and our heritage through Thanksgiving and Family thematic studies. Through art, literacy, STEM experiences, and home-school activities November is going to be full of new experiences and learning for our boys and girls! Make sure to check out your child's specific activities for the month posted outside their classroom door.
