Parents As Teachers families enjoyed a Polar Express Night last week to celebrate Christmas! We had hot cocoa and popcorn while reading The Polar Express book and then made magic reindeer food for Santa's reindeer. At the end of the night, we tested our bells to see if we could hear them ring and then punched a hole in our golden tickets if we believed in Santa. Parents As Teachers is a a great way to get involved and encourage your child's learning before they start kindergarten. If you would like to know more about the program, reach out to Mrs. Laskowski at dlaskowski@nianguaschools.com.
