Library Notice
Mrs. Kelly’s 8th Grade FACS Exploration classes have recently been learning about Child Development. After studying about the developmental stages, positive guidance techniques, and the value of play, students held their own preschool. They planned and prepared different learning activities and were able to teach these to younger siblings during two days of animal fun, art projects, playdough, pretend, and fun! They knew the preschool was a success when one of the children exclaimed to his mother at the end of the day, “I never want to leave here!”
